For an access to specified helicopter simulator qualification's level C or FTD(Flight Training Device) level 5 of FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) AC(Advisory Circular) 120-63, the mathematical model of a single rotor helicopter flight dynamics is investigated. From the rotorcraft simulation model validated by evaluation of its flight performance, the feasibility of the flight dynamic model that is selected for its effectiveness has been proved. Thereby the simulation environment for evaluation of helicopter flying quality is established with the development of FTD for training and testing the flight performance.

A UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flies along pre-programed navigation points(in-flight, take-off, or landing) automatically without pilot input. Even though UAVs fly differently from general piloted aircraft as the pilot controls the aircraft from a ground station through means of a data-link system. Occasionally, the data-link connection can be lost for any number of reasons, in which case, the FLCC(Flight control Computer) must automatically switch to autopilot to continue flying. Hence, the FLCC is a flight-critical component that must be throughly tested and validated. This paper discusses the development of a HILS(Hardware in the Loop Simulation) test environment designed to simulate real flight conditions to verify the FLCC satisfies flying quality requirements and maintains robustness despite any potential malfunctions or emergency situations.

Process of helicopter development is divided in design, manufacture and test & evaluation phase. Test & evaluation is performed step by step in order of component test, rig test, system ground test and flight test. After completing ground test and before first flight, US military specification requires 50hrs-PFAT in order to assure flight safety. PFAT is the test which requires tie-down and severe load imposition and it needs special ground test vehicle which is similar to helicopter prototype as well as much cost and period. In case of KUH, we have performed tailored PFAT considering KUH development environment. In this paper, we propose a proper way to perform the PFAT in accordance with development environment by giving KHU PFAT procedure and result.

The process and results of Captive Flight Test(CFT), conducted by Agency for Defense Development(ADD) using the Korean KTX-1 trainer and external fuel tank, are presented. Through over 150 sorties of CFT, the guided weapon system's critical subsystems like Seeker, Navigation Device and Technology, Inertial Sensor, and Radio Altimeter are tested and evaluated. Using the CFT, time and cost are saved in weapon system research and development procedure.

이 논문에서는 저궤도 지구관측위성 비행모델의 정현파 가진시험 결과에 대하여 분석하였다. 정현파 가진시험은 발사환경시험중의 하나로서, 저주파 대역의 정현파 진동 환경하에서 인공위성의 안정성을 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 정현파 가진시험의 입력선도는 발사체로부터 선정되어진다. 발사체로부터 선정된 입력선도는 극한의 경우를 고려한 선도이므로 실제 정현파 가진시험시에는 입력선도에 적절한 노칭을 적용하여야 한다. 노칭은 주구조물의 대한 1차 노칭과 부가 구조물에 대한 2차 노칭으로 구분이 되어 적용되었다. 정현파 가진시험의 전후에는 저수준 정현파가진시험을 수행하였으며, 주파수 응답함수를 비교함으로서 구조적으로 문제가 없는지를 확인하였다. 시험 후, 육안검사를 통하여 구조 부재가 이상이 없는지를 최종 확인하였으며, 인공위성비행모델이 정현파 가진 환경하에서 충분히 안전함을 확인하였다.

In order to ensure the individual and mutual performances among the telemetry system, tracking system, flight termination system, GPS, and inertial navigation & guidance system which are installed in the KSLV-I 2nd stage and ground equipment of the Naro space center, flight test using a light airplane is required. Since the high degree of test efficiency is fulfilled through the minute plan and analysis about selection of the equipment which are applicable to the test, harness, operation strategy, and antenna installation. KSLV-I communication environment and flight profile should be precisely taken into account during the flight test. In this document, overall aspect of the KSLV-I 2nd stage equipment specification, a rack for the installation, harness, the airplane specification, and flight route which are required for the effective flight test are presented.

A high intensity acoustic test facility has been constructed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). Spacecrafts are tested in the facility to check the reliability on acoustic environment of launch vehicles. The reverberant chamber of the facility has a volume of 1,228 cubic meters and provides an acoustic environment of 152 dB over the frequency range of 25 Hz to 10,000 Hz. This paper describes how the basic parameters of the facility including a chamber and power generation system are designed. Moreover, design parameters including acoustic spectrum, acoustic modulator characteristics, reverberation time and isolation characteristics are experimentally verified during acceptance tests.

The rapid prototyping process and development tool which enable the control law evaluation efficiently are needed to minimize the development cycle, cost and risk of aircraft flight control system. This paper describes a development process that integrates the designed control law into HETLAS to evaluate simulation effectively using nonlinear mathematical models. The desktop engineering simulator was developed using HETLAS for the piloted simulation evaluation of a various control modes and the procedure was developed, which quickly integrates the HETLAS into HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) and HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation) environments. This paper presents a rapid prototyping process using HETLAS that significantly shortens the integration process of the control law into the nonlinear math model, HETLAS, and allows the control law designs to be quickly tested in the piloted simulation and HILS environments.

Flight test data visualization functions can improve an understanding of flight test results, test procedures, and the performance of a flight vehicle after flight tests. FlyingView was developed for researchers to analyse flight test data in a 3D virtual environment. It also can display X-Y plots using flight test data. It was developed and applied to flight tests of an air-to-ground weapon system of ADD. This paper describes the capabilities of FlyingView.

The operational flight program(OFP) which has the functions of I/O processing with avionics, flight control logic calculation, fault diagnosis and redundancy mode is embedded in the flight control computer of Smart UAV. The OFP was developed in the environment of PowerPC 755 processor and VxWorks 5.5 real-time operating system. The OFP consists of memory access module, device I/O signal processing module and flight control logic module, and each module was designed to hierarchical structure. Memory access and signal processing modules were verified from bench test, and flight control logic module was verified from hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) test, ground integration test, tethered test and flight test. This paper describes development environment, software structure, verification and management method of the OFP.
