탄소섬유 복합재료를 적용하는 일체형 접이식 날개 개발에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 설계 요구조건을 검토하고 상용 소프트웨어를 적용한 최적설계기법을 통해 복합재료 날개 설계를 실시하였다. 복합재료 제조공정인 핫프레스, 펄트루전, 오토클레이브를 평가하고 성능과 비용을 고려하여 일체형 날개제작에 가장 적합한 다중공정을 결정하였다. 설계개념 확정을 위해 두 차례의 설계개발시험으로 제작공정을 검증하고 구조해석을 통해 복합재료 날개의 강성과 강도를 예측하였다. 시험하중을 먼저 산출하고 양쪽 날개를 대상으로 설계제한하중과 설계극한하중에 대한 정하중 구조시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 시험의 각 평가기준을 만족하였으며 일련의 구조해석과 시험을 통해 구조안전성을 검증하였다.
This research was carried out to develop an integrated folding wing made from carbon composite materials. Design requirements were reviewed and composite wing sizing was conducted using design optimization with commercial software. Three composite manufacturing processes including hot-press, pultrusion, and autoclave were evaluated and the most suitable processes for the integrated wing fabrication were selected, with consideration given to performance and cost. The determined manufacturing process was verified by two design development tests for selecting the design concept. Stiffness and strength of the composite wing were estimated through structural analyses. The test loads were calculated and static tests about design limit load and design ultimate load were performed using both wings. As a result, the evaluation criterions of the tests were satisfied and structural safety was verified through the series of structural analyses and testing.
