Abstract

The thrust vector control technique is essential for high maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles. In the present study, a multi-component balance was developed to quantitatively evaluate the thrust-vectoring performance of a supersonic rectangular nozzle based on the Coanda coflowing effect. Precise calibration and detailed data analysis were performed during the development. It was found that the cross-talk errors between load cells in the balance were less than 5%, and that the unwanted errors due to high-pressure supply tubes were almost negligible, which contributed to the high accuracy of the present balance design. Some preliminary test results of the thrust-vectoring performance of the present nozzle design were also obtained and analyzed.

추력편향 제어기술은 무인기의 고기동성 확보에 있어 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 동축 코안다 효과를 이용한 초음속 사각노즐 유동의 추력편향 특성을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 다분력 시험장치를 개발하였다. 엄밀한 보정 및 자세한 자료분석 과정을 통하여 본 연구에서 개발된 시험장치의 로드셀 상호간섭에 의한 측정오차는 약 5% 미만임이 관찰되었고, 또한 고압 연결튜브에 의한 오차는 거의 무시할 수 있음이 판명되었다. 아울러 개발된 시험장치를 이용하여 본 연구의 동축 코안다 효과를 이용한 사각노즐의 추력편향 특성에 관한 기초적인 실험결과가 얻어졌다.
