A nonlinear indicial prediction model was developed to predict the unsteady aerodynamic response associated with maneuvering flight vehicles at high angles of attack. The model is based on nonlinear indicial response theory and key simplifications thereof using functional interpolation of parameterized responses. This paper presents the initial development of the method and its application to a model problem involving the Cobra maneuver by a full-scale fighter aircraft.
