  • In this study, the internal structural design, dynamic characteristics and load analyses of the small scaled rotor blade required for LCH(Light Civil Helicopter) main rotor wind tunnel test were carried out. The test is performed to evaluate the aerodynamic performance and noise characteristics of the LCH main rotor system. Therefore, the Mach-scale technique was appled to design the small scaled blade to simulate the equivalent aerodynamic characteristics as the full scale rotor system. It is necessary to increase the rotor speed to maintain the same blade tip speed as the full scale blade. In addition, the blade weight, section stiffness, and natural frequency were scaled according to the Mach-type scaling factor(${\lambda}$). For the design of skin, spar, torsion box, which are the main components of the blade, carbon and glass fiber composite materials were adopted, and composite materials are prepreg types that can be supplied domestically. The KSec2D program was used to evaluate the section stiffness of the blade. Also, structural loads and dynamic characteristics of the Mach scale blade were investigated through the comprehensive rotorcraft analysis program CAMRADII.

  • A type certificate is required to ensure the safety of aircraft design. If a person is to pursue major design change to the certified aircraft, an applicant has to apply for a new type certificate, an amended type certificate, or a supplemental type certificate appropriately. Design changes to be applied for a supplemental type certificate are abstractly defined in ICAO, FAA, and EASA regulations. In this paper, authors reviewed certification procedures regarding design changes, analysed certification examples of leading countries, and presented the criteria to determine "major design changes not extensive" for a supplemental type certificate.

  • The airloads and structural loads of Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) rotor are investigated using a loose CFD/CSD coupling. The structural dynamics model for LCH 5-bladed rotor cwith elastomeric bearing and inter-bladed damper is constructed using CAMRAD-II. Either isolated rotor or rotor-fuselage model is used to identify the effect of the fuselage on the aeromechanics behavior at a cruise speed of 0.28. The fuselage effect is shown to be marginal on the aeromechanics predictions of LCH rotor, though the effect can be non-negligible for the tail structure due to the prevailing root vortices strengthened by the fuselage upwash. A lifting-line based comprehensive analysis is also conducted to verify the CFD/CSD coupled analysis. The comparison study shows that the comprehensive analysis predictions are generally in good agreements with CFD/CSD coupled results. However, the predicted comprehensive analysis results underestimate peak-to-peak values of blade section airloads and elastic motions due to the limitation of unsteady aerodynamic predictions. Particularly, significant discrepancies appear in the structural loads with apparent phase differences.

  • 필자가 참여했던 쌍발복합재사업, 쌍발복합재항공기사업, SB427 민수용헬기사업, T-50 초음속고등훈력기 사업을 통해 복합재료의 항공기 적용사례를 고찰하면서, 쌍발복합재항공기는 실험용항공기(Experimental Aircraft)이지만 국내 최초의 전복합재항공기(All-composites Aircraft)로서 항공기 구조물이 순전히 복합재료만을 이용하여 설계 및 제작이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었고, 복합재료를 적용 시 어떠한 이점이 있는지를 보여준 예가 되고 있다. SB427 민수용헬기사업은 헬리콥터에서 로터 블레이드와 동체 등 기체구조물 대분에 왜 복합재료를 사용해야 효과적인 지를 잘 보여주고 있다. SB427 개발 사업을 통해 얻을 수 있는 또 다른 점은 민수용 항공기의 경우 구축된 복합재료 인증체계에 따라 복합재구조물을 개발해야 되고 그래야만 마케팅에서 신뢰를 얻을 수 있다는 것이다. T-50 항공기는 국내에서 최초로 개발된 초음속기로 미익 부문에 복합재료가 응용되었다. 양산 항공기의 주구조물에 복합재료가 쓰인 예는 T-50이 첫 번째 인데 T-50에서 얻어진 복합재 적용기술은 앞으로 개발될 고급 군용기와 민수용기에 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는, 국내 개발 항공기에서의 복합재료 적용이라는 특정 주제를 중심으로 개발 이력과 기술적 조망을 통하여, 정부, 연구소, 업체 간의 유기적이고 체계적인 전략이 필요하다고 사료되며, 이러한 전략을 바탕으로 효율적인 항공 산업을 선점해야 할 것이다.

  • In this paper, I summarized the history and current state of korean aircraft industry. The Korean aircraft industry, beginning from maintenance business after Korean War, has been industrialized from 1976. From that time, aircraft industry in Korea has been steadily developed through big scale national projects usually military related. The current relationship of aircraft industry, government projects, policies in Korea is also summarized in this paper. By the big scale military projects, like KTX, KFP, KHA, etc., Korean aircraft industry has accumulated and developed essential technologies of the aircraft industry, and recently tries to develop even more by participating in the world civil aircraft market, which asks Korea of the harmonious effort of government, industry, and R&D sector. Considering that aircraft industry is not the optional but the essential for the national development in 21st century, the more harmonious and intensive effort of Korean aircraft industry will be absolutely needed.

  • The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) legislates the CS-E (Certification Specification-Engine) for type certification of aircraft engines. According to the CS-E, engine manufacturers (type certificate holders) the need to show compliance of continued airworthiness of an engine during the overhaul, and the Accelerated Mission Test (AMT) is usually accepted as means of compliance. As a part of the Korean Civil Helicopter program, the engine has been developed with foreign manufacturers to achieve the EASA engine type certificate. In this study, the AMT procedure is planned for the engine to be certified by the EASA, and AMT cycles are also established to meet airworthiness requirements of the CS-E in consideration of the engine design and operation characteristics.

  • Helicopter rotor systems are dynamically loaded structures with many composite components such as the main and the tail rotor blades. The fatigue properties of composite materials are extremely important to design durable and reliable helicopter rotor blades. The safe-life methodology has generally been used in the helicopter industry to substantiate dynamically loaded composite components. However, it cannot be used to evaluate the strength reducing effects of flaws and defects that may occur during manufacturing and operational usage. The damage tolerance methodology provides a proper means to overcome this shortcoming; however, it is difficult to economically apply it to every composite component. The flaw tolerant methodology is an equivalent option to the damage tolerance methodology for civil and military rotorcraft. In this study, the flaw tolerant safe-life evaluation is described and illustrated by means of successful application to substantiate the retirement time of composite rotor blades.
