In this paper, we summarize the results of free drop wind tunnel test, separation analysis and flight test in order to verify the safety during the separations of an external fuel tank and the LAU-131 rocket launcher from XKO-l. The wind tunnel test was conducted to show the safety in free drop of the stores and to gather the trajectory data for fine tune of MSAP(Multi-body Separation Analysis Program). The enhanced MSAP was then used to predict the trajectories of the stores with and without the ejector forces. A correlation of MSAP results for free drop case was also made to show the safety of jettison with the free drop type bomb rack. Moreover, the flight test was conducted. and its results were compared to analysis results. Finally, the safe jettison boundary was determined from the flight test.

Investigation on operation of the test apparatus for the M4 semi-freejet tests with a full-scale vehicle model was carried out utilizing domestic facilities. An integrated design of the experimental apparatus and the vehicle model was obtained through iterative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The test results showed that the M4 nozzle of the apparatus was fully expanded to provide required test conditions. It was also found that the intake of the vehicle model successfully started, and the corresponding shadowgraph images were recorded during the test. A variable nozzle of the model was set to adjust the back pressure of the model combustor, and wall-static pressures were measured to obtain the pressure distribution at the main locations of the model. The flame of torch ignitors and pilot fuel ignition were observed in a flame-holder of the combustor.

Flight simulation model for helicopter simulator is one of the most important models which affect flight performance and handling quality. It is typical to develop the model based on the raw data and models from the helicopter designers/manufacturers. The approaches in this study were to develop the basic model based on the available resources regarding helicopter operation/maintenance and to tune and validate it based on the flight test results. The basic model was developed with maintenance manuals, flight manuals, analyses, measurements, papers and so on considering that KA-32T data could not be obtained from the manufacturer. The flight test for KA-32T was performed and the reference data for the simulation validation tests were acquired. The flight simulation model was validated to have the fidelity compatible with level C of FAA AC120-63 after comparison and tuning with flight test results.

헬리콥터 주 로터 시스템은 헬리콥터 전체 성능을 좌우하고, 비행특성을 결정하는 핵심 구성품이다. 주 로터 시스템은 회전하면서 추력 및 조종력을 발생시키기 때문에 동적 밸런싱을 맞추는 것도 중요한 개발단계업무 중에 하나이다. 주 로터 시스템의 개발 과정에서 헬리콥터 비행시제 장착 전에 동적 밸런스 시험, 성능시험, 안정성 시험 등을 포함하는 훨시험(whirl test)을 수행하게 된다. 이 시험 수행을 위해 제작되는 시험장치가 훨타워(whirl tower)이다. 세계 유수 헬리콥터 회사들은 주 로터 훨시험을 위한 설비인 훨타워를 보유하고 있으며, 지속적으로 성능 개량 등을 통해 최신의 기술 및 장비를 적용하여 운영하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 해외 헬리콥터 회사들의 훨타워의 사례를 설명하고 설비의 기능을 기술함으로써 기술적 동향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 현재 한국형헬기개발사업(KHP)에서 구축중인 다목적 의 WTTF(whirl tower test facility) 요구조건 및 설계 현황에 대해서도 기술하였다. 당 연구원의 WTTF는 한국형기동헬기(KUH)의 주 로터 훨시험 및 내구성 시험을 위해 구축되고 있다. 본 시험설비는 연구개발용 시험과 양산용 시험을 모두 수행할 수 있도록 다목적으로 개발될 예정이다. 본 설비는 기존 해외 설비와는 차별화되어 다목적 시험을 할 수 있도록 설계가 진행중이며, 2008년12월에 구축 완료 예정이다.

The objective of the KA-32 Helicopter Training Simulator Development Program, executed by the Republic of Korea Government, is to acquire a helicopter simulator which meets level C requirements in accordance with the FAA AC 120-63. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) manages the development program and is supposed to develop and validate the flight dynamics model based on simulator design data and flight test data. The helicopter chosen for this project is the Kamov KA32T, operated by the Korean Forest Aviation Office. This paper presents the test program and information about the installation and execution of the flight tests. The program consist of tests for the simulator qualification, additional tests for model data and additional tests for model validation. The flight trials were performed from 30 July to 31 August at the Iksan airbase of the Forest Aviation Office (FAO).

Design analysis and grow1d test on propellers for 50 m-long airship propulsion were conducted. The design analysis code developed by adopting the vortex-blade-element theory was applied to the design of optimum propeller at the condition of maximum flight speed at sea level. In order to validate the performance of the propeller, ground test of the propeller was performed, and thrust and torque were measured for several different pitch angles at static condition. The power coefficients and thrust coefficients obtained by the test compared well with the analysis results.

In flight tests, aircraft moves in real time, so it is important that data from instrumentation/measurement equipment used to determine aircraft status are processed in necessary form and transmitted to flight control systems in real time. Therefore, through telemetry data processing time reduction and processing cycle improvement in flight test control computer data processing system, in order to provide faster slave-data and safety judgment information to radar/telemetry slave-data processing, flight safety analysis system, emergency destruction transmission system, etc., we developed a PCM processing system that can be operated independently by installing data processing software that can receive and process PCM data in current telemetry data processing system and radar information at the same time. In this paper, we explain classified software functions in detail, starting with overall structure of PCM data processing systems developed by supplementing existing systems. Additionally, PCM data processing system will be supplemented through system stabilization and test operation.
