Much of the material presented comes from the authors own extensive research and teaching activities at the NASA Langley Research Center, and is based on real-world applications of system identification to aircraft.
The book uses actual flight-test and wind-tunnel data for case studies and examples, and is a valuable resource for researchers and practicing engineers, as well as a textbook for postgraduate and senior-level courses.
