With a live demonstrator for vibration monitoring the next generation system identification technology developed at DLR was presented which allows the automatic measurements of natural frequencies and mode shapes of an airframe in almost real-time. This technology will be utilized and further developed for the AFLONEXT flight test campaign to monitor vibration of the undercarriage.
