Because of the exposed blade, the UAV using the rotors entail the risks during operation. While a wrapped duct around the fan blades reduces risks, it is a higher thrust performance than the same power load rotor. In this paper, for applying advantages of a ducted fan, the tri-ducted fan air vehicle configuration is proposed. The vehicle has three ducted fans. Two of them are the same shape and size and the third one is the smaller. It is possible to control a rapid attitude stability using thrust vector control. The equations of motion of the tri-ducted fan were derived. Lyapunov control input was applied to the system and stable inputs were derived. A nonlinear simulation was fulfilled by using parameters of a prototype vehicle. It verified a stable attitude and analyzed results.

In this study, we performed a design and structural analysis of a blade-shaped antenna installation on the rear fuselage of a rotary wing aircraft operated by the military. When the structure is damaged while the aircraft is in operation, it is separated from the aircraft main structure and may collide with the rotor or blades to cause the aircraft to crash. Therefore, structural safety for the modified structure must be secured. The design requirement for the newly installed modified part were established, and the load condition was constructed by applying the load that may occur in the aircraft after the modification. Structure safety for the modified structure was secured by performing structure analysis. To analysis stress and deformation of aircraft structure, we developed finite element model and verified it by using hand calculation method. We confirmed the safety of the modified structure through the final structural integrity analysis.

This paper is the experimental study to investigate the noise sources location in order to reduce the noise level of line flow fan for the air conditioner in the subway car. The noise of line flow fan is caused by various factors such as the turbulence by air flow, random noise, noise of blade passing frequence(681Hz) and noise due to structural vibration of rotor unbalance(28.4Hz) by motor revolution. By performing the noise reduction on each sound source, the noise level is decreased as much as 5.7dB(A) through the controls of housing guide angle and distance, the configuration changes of flow passage shape and rotor balancing.

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The aerodynamic characteristics of NACA 63415 airfoils were predicted via X-FOIL and the post stall characteristics were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the Velux wind tunnel test results. The rated power of the testing rotor is 5kW at design conditions. The power, estimated by use of predicted lift and drag coefficient via X-FOIL becomes a little higher than experimental one.

본 연구는 무인 헬리콥터의 양력을 개선하기 위한 기초 단계로서 V1505A 및 V2008B 기본 두 익형의 400 mm 블레이드 섹션에 해당하는 모델에 대한 풍동실험을 실시하여 양력, 항력 및 동력특성을 분석하고 CFD 시뮬레이션의 결과와 비교하고 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션은 풍동 실험과 유사하게 설정하기 위하여 400 mm 블레이드 섹션의 양 끝을 벽으로 제한하여 3차원 와류현상을 억제하여 모델을 구성하였고, 시뮬레이션의 결과와 비교하여 모델을 검증하였다. 사용된 모델은 로터로부터 $Re=0.32{\times}10^6$ 영역까지는 aminar 모델을 사용하였으며, 그 이후 영역역(>$Re=0.32{\times}10^6$)은 양력 및 저항의 급격한 변화를 올바로 포착할 수 있다는 S-A 모델을 적용하여 확장하였다. 시뮬레이션의 격자는 유동 현상에 있어 박리로 야기된 와류 현상을 관찰하기 위하여 익형 주변에 접하는 부분에 격자를 집중시켰다. 시뮬레이션 방법은 유속은 36~141 m/s 까지 5 수준으로 하였으며, 받음각은 $0{\sim}16^{\circ}$로 7 수준으로 변화 시키면서 공력계수 및 동력을 분석하였다. 양력분석에 있어 익형 V1505A에 비해 익형 V2008B의 특성이 우수하였으나, 익형 V1505A는 실속 이후 양력이 급격히 떨어지지 않고 유지되는 특성을 보였다. 익형 V2008B는 낮은 받음각에서 높은 공력과 낮은 항력을 나타냈다. 동력 분석 결과로 익형 V1505A의 유도동력은 총 동력의 56~72%를 차지하고, 형상동력은 총 동력의 27~43%를 차지하였다. 익형 V2008B는 유도동력은 총 동력의 66~81%를 차지하고, 형상동력은 총 동력의 18~33%를 차지하였다. 익형 V2008B이 익형 V1505A보다 유도동력은 크며, 형상동력은 적게 나와 상대적으로 효율적이라 할 수 있다. 헬리콥터 동력원의 규모는 법률적인 총중량에 의하여 제한되므로 일반적인 농용 소형 무인 헬리콥터 엔진의 사양인 24.5 kW (32PS)를 적용한다면, 익형 V1505A은 받음각 $8{\sim}10^{\circ}$에서 그리고 익형 V2008B은 $7{\sim}9^{\circ}$정도에서 받음각이 제한되며 이때 총 양력은 1200~1300 N 정도로 예상된다.

There are many unbalanced models such as helicopter's rotor blades, small-sized precision motor in industrial applications. In the real products, their gravity center usually does not accord with the desired gravity center. If the deviation is large between them, it can be a major cause of vibration and noise as the part of model rotate. Therefore the gravity center in the rotational parts should be controlled properly because of static and dynamic balancing of the parts. In the research, the rotor blade of unmanned helicopter has been selected to obtain the high quality of balancing. In order to achieve the purpose, measuring system has been developed. In the system applied principle is three point weighting method, which is one of the Multiple-point Weighting Method. It has circle fitting for compensation of machining error, after measuring the values. From this study, the results showed that the proposed measurement procedure gives reliable and precise gravity center.

Turbine, which is one of major components in nuclear power plants, requires reliable nondestructive inspections. But, accessibility of transducers is limited and interpretation of acquired signals is not easy at all due to the complication. So, in this study, we have fabricated mock-up specimens of real size and shape. we applied pulse-echo method and time-of-flight diffraction(TOFD) method for precise inspection of turbine key and wheel bore. And phased array ultrasonic testing method was adopted for wheel dovetail of turbines by using mock-up. Furthermore, an automatic scanner system was developed for in-service inspection of the developed methods.
