Method for Aerodynamic Characteristics Monitoring of Transport Aircraft in Operation

Aircraft in service is exposed to dynamic load that may degrade its aerodynamic and flight characteristics. To ensure timely maintenance and efficient aircraft operations it is necessary to know and keep track of aircraft’s actual performance. Existing methods for monitoring aircraft performances rely on monitoring fuel consumption and changes in specific range. Knowledge of aircraft aerodynamic characteristics would allow determination of broader range of flight performance characteristics. The aim of this paper is the establishment of research framework for aerodynamic characteristics monitoring using data collected from regular commercial flights.
