This work concerns the optimization of flight test maneuvers for parametric estimation regarding colored residuals on measurements through the application of genetic algorithm. The results are obtained from a dedicated flight campaign and the main goal is to exhibit the importance of the colored residuals consideration for multi-objective maneuver design.
