This work applied an electric flexible wing UAV that underwent flight evaluations to explore flexibility effects and ensure data accuracy. Flight Path Reconstruction (FPR) was used for data compatibility check, showing consistency in recordings but discrepancies for specific states. The study enhances FPR by including structural dynamics, expecting an improvement in the fidelity of results.
