This paper presents the identification of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) with flexible wings from open-looprndata using subspace methods. For aerodynamic and flight control system, a reliable model is important torncomprehend the system behaviour and to design a feedback loop, that can be applied as well to minimizernthe effects of structural flexibility.
