Keywords: Aerodynamics, Flight test, Optimization

We present in this paper a computer tool aero_opt, for evaluation and updating of aerodynamical models. The tool is particularly useful when evaluating and comparing flight tests with flight mechanical simulation, including dynamic maneuvers at the boundary of the flight envelop.
