A model for unsteady effects in lateral dynamics for use in parameter estimation

A mathematical model for the unsteady aerodynamic effects for use in lateral aircraft dynamics has been developed. The approach is to derive approximations to the force and moment coefficients based on Weissinger's arrangement for the trailing vortex pattern for a sideslipped wing. The main thrust of the modeling is for application to estimation of the lateral stability and control derivatives.
