A novel method for system identification of small-scale fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using a metaheuristics (MHs) approach is proposed. This investigation splits the complex aerodynamic model of UAV into longitudinal and lateral dynamics sub-systems. The system identification optimisat...
