In-flight modal testing and analysis of a helicopter

This paper contains a preliminary report concerning the analysis of a data taken from the flight test of a helicopter. An overview of the flight test procedures is given followed by a discussion of the analysis approaches used. Some initial results obtained using ambient responses as the excitation source are given. Comparison is made with the results from the ground vibration test of the same helicopter.
