최근까지 무인 항공기는 군사적인 목적으로 활용하기 위해 활발하게 연구 되어 왔다. 근래에 들어 레저용, 또는 상업용으로 활용도가 급격히 증대되고 있다. 이에 국내외의 대학 및 연구기간에서 무인항공기의 자동비행 제어시스템을 위한 연구를 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 무인항공기로 제어하기가 쉽고 활용도가 높은 쿼드로터 비행체가 각광을 받고 있는데 이미 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 쿼드로터는 4개의 로터의 속도 제어로 비행체의 위치제어가 가능하다. 쿼드로터의 구조적인 이점으로 제어가 쉬운 반면 바람과 같은 외란에 매우 취약하다는 단점이 있어 실제 위치 제어가 쉽지가 않다. 본 논문에서는 외란(disturbance)에 취약한 쿼드로터의 위치제어를 안정하게 제어하기 위해 비행체의 자세 측정 센서인 관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 만들어 비행체의 자세를 측정 할 수 있도록 하였다. IMU는 자이로(Gyro)와 가속도(Accelerometer) 센서를 융합하여 비행체의 Roll, Pitch, Yaw 자세를 계측할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 PID 제어기법을 적용하여 기존의 쿼드로터의 비행체에 대한 제어 성능을 실험을 제시하고자 한다.

Mathematical modeling and vibration control of a tiltrotor aircraft composite wing-rotor system are investigated in this study. A wing-mounted rotor can be tilted from the vertical position to a horizontal one, and vice versa. Effect of vibration control of the wing-rotor system via piezoelectricity is studied as a function of tilt angle, ply angle of composite wing and rotor's spin speed. Composite wing is modeled as a thin-walled box beam having a circumferentially uniform stiffness configuration that produces elastic coupling between flap-lag and between extension-twist behavior. Numerical simulations are provided and pertinent conclusions are outlined.

A Study on the dynamic characteristics of a rotor driven by a tipjet system in hovering condition was carried out. The sectional modeling was performed for the tipjet blade in which the flow path was inserted, and the dynamic characteristics analysis was conducted by modeling the components of the proposed rotor system. The analysis was conducted with respect to the rotational speed and the collective pitch. As a result of the analysis, it was checked that the proposed tipjet rotor did not have aeroelastic instability within the designed operating range. The tipjet test equipment was constructed in order to verify the analysis approach. It was confirmed that the proposed rotor was driven normally by tipjet. The non-rotating eigenmode measurement test and the rotation test were performed, and the validity was proved by comparing the test results and the analysis results.

Cross section design of a prop-blade is carried out for VTOL(Vertical Takeoff and Landing) Quad Tilt Prop-rotor UAV with a maximum takeoff weight of 55 kg and a maximum cruising speed of 180 km/h. Design procedure for cross section design is established and design requirements for prop-blade are identified. Through the procedure, cross section design is carried out to meet the identified requirements. Main design factors including stiffness, weight per unit length, and elastic axis are obtained by using a finite element section analysis program, and the design weight of the prop-blade is predicted. The obtained design factors are used along with the rotor system analysis program CAMRAD II to evaluate the dynamic stability of prop-blade in operating environment. In addition, the prop-blade load is obtained by CAMRAD II software, and it is used to verify the safety of the prop-blade structure. If the design results are not satisfactory, design changes are made in an iterative manner until the results satisfy the design requirements.

The performance simulation of a desiccant rotor, which is a core component of a desiccant cooling system, was conducted on the basis of a theoretical solution of the heat and mass transfer process in the rotor. The simulation model was validated by comparing simulation results with experimental data; reasonable agreement was observed. The effect of the rotation speed on the performance of the desiccant rotor was investigated for various operation conditions: temperature (50 to $70^{\circ}C$), humidity ratio (0.01 to 0.02 kg/kg DA), and flow rate of regeneration air. The optimum rotation speed was determined from the maximum moisture removal capacity (MRC) of the desiccant rotor, and it was found to vary with the operation conditions. Further, the correlation for the optimum rotation speed was determined by regression analysis.

As avionics and mechanical devices have been developed, the size of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is getting smaller. However, the complicated and accurate missions are provided to the UAV. Among various types of UAVs, quadrotors are widely used for their availability by virtue of simple structure and hovering function. However, the control of quadrotor is highly constrained, because the quadrotor is an under-actuated system which has only 4 actuator inputs. To deal with this under-actuated problem, a new quadrotor model with two more actuators in addition to the 4 propeller inputs is provided to make the system fully-actuated. For the proposed model, a controller is designed using feedback linearization methods. To validate the model and to verify the performance of the proposed controller, numerical simulation is performed.

Numerical analysis was carried out to analyze the flow fields and mechanical output of a rotor for various positions and inlet flow rates in a shroud, and it was compared with experimental data. Rotor and seawater current largely affects the flow field characteristics in the shroud system. Especially the mechanical output of the rotor increased with axial position near the center of the cylinder, and it gradually decreased close to the entrance and exit. Also, the rotor output increased with the inlet velocity. Axial and angular momentum of flow along the cylinder region rapidly increased and reached a peak, and then decreased as it passed through the rotor, while there was no significant change in the cylinder region. It is expected that these results can be used as applicable design data for the development of the tidal power generation system.

Typical quadrotor aircraft use four differential thrust vectors to control the motion. In this study, we design a quadrotor aircraft using collective and cyclic control to improve the shortcomings of existing quadrotor aircraft. The quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control can fly at various attitudes due to the excessive control degrees of freedom. Hence the quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control is suitable as high performance aircraft. In this study, modeling and stability analysis of the quadrotor aircraft have been performed using FLIGHTLAB. LQR control systems were designed using linear models at various flight conditions and verified through nonlinear simulations using MATLAB.
