This paper presents system identification of a single tilt wing UAV. A Modified Equation Error Method(MEEM) and Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) are used for the identification of a single tilt wing UAV system in frequency-domain and time-domain, respectively. Simulated flight data is obtained from CNUX-3's vertical mode linear simulation with realistic sensor noise. System identification performance is analyzed with respect to a variety of design parameters of the MEEM. Also, High accuracy Fourier Transform(HFT) is applied to enhance the performance of MEEM. The results of the MEEM is compared with those of the EKF. Design parameters of the MEEM and initial conditions of the EKF are decided from optimization.
