Abstract This paper focuses on the calibration of aircraft airdata system to obtain online accurate Angle of Attack(AOA) and Angle of Sideslip (AOSS) from measured quantities contain error. For this purpose, an adaptive version of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is employed to estimate accurately flight path trajectories of an aircraft. The investigations are made with flight simulated data with turbulence effects. Results are analyzed and found that adaptive EKF provides more accurate results over EKF.
