This report presents the system description, methods, and sample results of the in-flight stability analysis for the X-48B, Blended Wing Body Low-Speed Vehicle. The X-48B vehicle is a dynamically scaled, remotely piloted vehicle developed to investigate the low-speed control characteristics of a full-scale blended wing body. Initial envelope clearance was conducted by analyzing the stability margin estimation resulting from the rigid aircraft response during flight and comparing it to simulation data. Short duration multisine signals were commanded onboard to simultaneously excite the primary rigid body axes. In-flight stability analysis has proven to be a critical component of the initial envelope expansion. Nomenclature

This paper presents the current situation that the pilot’s manual operation method can’t fully meet the requirements of UAV flight test. To solve the problem, a UAV flight test technology based on embedded command is proposed. By analysing the verification contents and assessment methods of UAV flight test, the typical actions in UAV flight test are extracted, the embedded command modules are designed, and the embedded command flight test method is formulated. The flight test results show that compared with the manual operation method, the embedded command flight test technology can alleviate pilot’s operation burden, reduce the flight test risks and improve the flight test efficiency.
