The Quest for Onboard Real-Time Characterization of Aircraft Stability and Control

Dr. Gene Morelli is a senior research engineer in the Dynamic Systems and Control Branch at NASA Langley. He has over 20 years of experience in the field of aircraft system identification, which includes experiment design, data analysis, flight dynamics, and mathematical modeling based on experimental data. Dr. Morelli has designed experiments and developed models for a wide variety of aircraft, including the X 29, X-31, F-18 HARV, F-15 ACTIVE, Twin Otter, Tu-144 supersonic transport, X-43A (Hyper-X), and many subscale aircraft. He is co-author, with Dr. Vladi Klein, of the textbook entitled “Aircraft System Identification – Theory and Practice”, and is the author of System IDentification Programs for AirCraft (SIDPAC), a collection of programs written in MATLAB to solve aircraft system identification problems. SIDPAC is a NASA software product containing over 200 programs, and is currently in use at more than 60 organizations worldwide. Dr. Morelli has written more than 50 technical publications, and teaches a graduate course in Aircraft System Identification as an adjunct professor at the National Institute of Aerospace. He is an associate fellow of the AIAA.
