Abstract: Loss of control is an important cause of catastrophic aviation accidents, possibly exposing the aircraft under extreme flight conditions with complex nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamic characteristics beyond the normal flight envelope. The dynamic derivative and large amplitude wind tunnel tests under the extreme flight conditions are conducted to analyze the impact factors for dynamic aerodynamics and the nonlinear and unsteady characteristics. Results show that the nonlinear and unsteady characteristics of dynamic aerodynamics are significant in stall to incipient spin regions; for dynamic derivative test and modeling, the impact of the angular velocity of motion can be considered to predict the range of angle of attack of aerodynamic nonlinearity and capture the key characteristics related to the dynamic stability of flight maneuvers; using the Goman-Khrabrov state space model combined with the large amplitude test, the key time constants of the unsteady characteristics in the model can be determined, and the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics in the specific extreme flight state motion can be obtained. The research methods and results provide a promising way for the design and modeling of the dynamic aerodynamic test of civil aircraft under extreme flight conditions.
