Identification data

Some experiments use flight test data from the book

Flight Vehicle System Identification: A Time-Domain Methodology, Second Edition, by Ravindra V. Jategaonkar.

This data can be downloaded, free of charge, from https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/suppl/10.2514/4.102790. To use it with the current code, extract unStabAC_sim.asc and hfb320_1_10.asc from flt_data.zip into the data/ directory.
