            Abstract : 
This paper presents design and performance details for a set of adaptive flight control laws to be flight-tested in NASA´s F-8 digital fly-by-wire research aircraft. These control laws implement an explicit maximum likelihood identification algorithm to estimate key aircraft parameters. The parameter estimates are then used to compute gains in a quadraticoptimal command augmentation control law.
