This paper presents a simulation model development and calibration approach for a novel subscale aircraft configuration. A component-based aero-propulsive performance model, an actuator model, and experimental mass properties are incorporated into the MADCASP framework. The initial simulation model is then calibrated using data from system identification flight tests.
