description Compared to maximum state parameters, such as maximum altitude and Mach, the number of hovers and S turns can be used as process parameters representing the complexity of military aircraft maneuvers when classifying big flight mission data to compile flight load spectra for structures. This study developed intelligent statistical algorithms based on yaw angle data from flight parameters such as the number of hovers and S turns. Using the median-crossing de-redundant function of Phase-Sensitive Detection (PSD) and analyzing the characteristics of 360° hovering flight parameters, a statistical algorithm for the number of hovers during a flight profile is presented. Using the split-half function of PSD, a triangle layering algorithm based on the yaw angle signal was developed to count the number of S turns during a flight profile, where the signal of each sublayer is segmented into median-crossing intervals to eliminate the redundant median-crossing marks from the previous layer. Compared with artificial means, the statistical results of the flight example showed that the developed intelligent algorithms are effective.
