(2024) Supporting flight dynamics, parameter identification and simulation teaching with a flying classroom. IFAC-PapersOnLine, Volume 58, Issue 16, September 2024, pp. 17-222405-8963https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2024.08.455https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/23119Cranfield University recently commissioned a modified Saab 340B airliner as a new flying laboratory classroom. The modifications are briefly described before the use of the flying classroom for flight test teaching is described. A flight dynamic model of the aircraft has been developed, and that, along with the data from the flight test programme are extensively used to support masters-level teaching in flight dynamics, flight simulation and flight parameter identification. Some examples of student results are also briefly presented.pp. 17-22enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/40 Engineering4001 Aerospace Engineering4007 Control engineering, mechatronics and robotics4008 Electrical engineeringArticle2405-89635533155816
