This paper presents results from a validation study for longitudinal and damping derivatives of a turboprop regional aircraft. The derivatives were predicted by an Euler code coupled to a "semi-inverse" integral boundary layer routine. The experimental results were derived from a low-speed wind-tunnel test of a powered aircraft model and validation of a flight dynamics model against aircraft flight test data.
