Popis: High Endurability Aerial vehicle includes Airship, Powered parafoil aerial vehicle (PPAV). These flying aerial vehicles have excellent endurance and durability. Nowadays, research in lighter than air technology is pacing up fast. In the past years, the design and development of high endurable flying vehicle has grown due to their application in monitoring of floods/ drought, aerial photography, transportation, surveillance in terrain prone areas, reconnaissance missions etc. System Identification is a mathematical tool applied to develop mathematical model of any physical system based on measured data. Research on System Identification of these types of vehicles is on latest trends. Dynamic modelling of these types of vehicles is more complex than fixed wing aircraft. A detail Literature review in system Identification of PPAV and fixed wing aircraft is presented aiming to provide a source of information for researchers to make vehicle fully autonomous from manual controls. Various system Identification Techniques to estimate parameters of flying aerial vehicles are discussed. Longitudinal stability derivatives of fixed wing Hansa-3 aircraft and PPAV are compared. The methodology used in this study to estimate the longitudinal stability derivatives is ML Method. The results obtained in form of stability derivatives of Hansa-3 aircraft and Powered parafoil aerial vehicle are presented in tabular form. This study will give insight of identification techniques used to estimate parameters.
