This paper contains the test method to obtain aerodynamic hinge moments acting on the control surface of air vehicle wing. During the flight, hinge moments make difference between actual control surface angle and control angle which is measured by sensor of actuator. The hinge moments can be obtained by using this difference. Static ground load test and calibration test were conducted to obtain torsional stiffness of control surface actuation system. This results are used to calculate hinge moments. In addition, the mechanical errors of actuation system such as slip angle of mounting point and backlash could be estimated. Using flight test results, this experimental measurement method of hinge moment acting on control surface is conducted. The results of this method are similar to those of numerical simulation method, and the validity of this method is proved.

In general, multiple hydraulic servo actuators are installed on one control surface of aero-dynamically highly loaded condition aircraft for redundancy management to satisfy flight control safety requirements. If motions of multiple actuators are not synchronized, control surface is deformed from its free stressed state. In result, force fight conditions are generated on each actuator due to restoration reaction force of deformed control surface. In addition, force fight is induced from severe initial rigging tolerance. Force fight condition of multiple actuators affects control accuracies and reduces operational life of actuators and control surface due to fatigue phenomenon. In this study, we designed controller using force feedback to reduce force fight of duplex servo actuation system.

Modern versions of supersonic jet fighter aircraft using a digital flight-by-wire flight control system design utilizes a control surface reconfiguration in order to guarantee the aircraft flight stability when a control surface is failed. The T-50 flight control laws are designed such that the surface reconfiguration mode controls the aircraft using non-failed control surfaces when one of the control surfaces is failed. In this paper, linear analysis and HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) pilot simulations are performed to analyze the flight stability and handling quality when the surface reconfiguration mode is engaged for aircraft landing configuration. It is found that the aircraft flight stability and handling quality is satisfied to level 1 requirements when the T-50 flight control law is changed to the surface reconfiguration mode.

Tilt rotor aircraft is a multi-configuration airplane which has three independent flight modes; helicopter, conversion, and aiplane. The control surface mixer resign is reqctired to generate and distribute efficient control forces and moments in each flight mode. In the conversion mode, the thrust vector is changed from helicopter mode to airplane, therefore the thrust vector makes undesired forces and moments which affect on pitch, roll and yaw dynamics. This paper describes the design results of control surface mixer design which minimize the undesired forces and moments due to nacelles tilting angle change for 4O% scaled model.

In case of an abnormal condition of control surface, the real-time estimation of aerodynamic derivatives are required for the reconfigurable control system to be flight for missions or return to the head office. The goal of this paper is to represent a technique of fault detection to the control surface as a base research to the fault tolerant control system for safety improvement of UAV. The real-time system identification for the fault detection to the control surface was applied with the recursive Fourier Transform and verified through the HILS and flight test. The failures of the control surface are detected by comparing the control derivatives in fault condition with the normal condition. As a result from the flight test, we have confirmed that the control derivatives of fault condition less than about 50% in the normal condition.

비행체가 한 지점에서 다른 지점으로 이동하기 위하여는 적절한 유도 조종장치가 필요하게 된다. 좀 더 넓은 의미에서 생각하며, 일반적으로 이러한 system은 비행체의 동적 현상, 즉 가속도, 속도, 위치 및 각속도 등을 측정하는 다양한 감지기들과 신호처리장치, 그리고 힘과 moment를 발생시키는 구동장치로 이루어진다. 또 유도조종 system의 설계과정에서는 비행환경에 따라 신호(상태변수)의 양이 많고, 각 subsystem들은 상당히 고차에다 비선형적이다. 따라서 유도조종 system은 하나의 대규모 system으로 생각될 수 있다. 본문의 구성은, 2장에서 주로 비행체의 공력학적인 면을 다루고, 3장은 유도장치로서 각 유도방식에 따른 간략한 설명과 장단점을 비교하였다. 4장은 조종장치로서 조종방식과 비행체제에 필요한 계기 및 구동장치에 관하여 설명하였고, 5장은 설계 및 방법과 시험에 관하여 논하였으며, 끝으로 6장에서는 간략한 결론을 내렸다.

비행 Simulator는 조종사가 실제 비행할 때와 같은 느낌을 받도록 구성되어야 하는데 조종사가 비행을 느끼게 되는 것은 여러 가지 감각기관을 통한 종합적인 느낌이다. 시각을 위하여 계기가 현재 비행 상태를 표시해야되고 외부 경치에서 고도, 속도, 자세 및 상승률을 감지하여야 한다. 이런 외부상태를 표시하기 위해서는 조종사의 Stick조작에 의한 비행기의 위치 변화와 속도 등을 실시간으로 계산하여 Graphic Engine과 Actuator로 데이터를 전송하여야 한다. 이러한 Parameter를 결정하기 위해서는 조정사의 조작에 의한 stick의 위치와 그로 인한 항공기의 자세 그리고 상태와 비행 속도 등에 따라 결정되며, 대상 항공기에 대한 제원으로 부터 조종사가 조종간의 이동크기와 조종면의 각 변위와의 관계를 계산하여 위치, 방향과 높이에 관한 Parameter를 계산해 줄 수 있는 방법 구현하였다.

This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of various control allocation methods applied on DURUMI-II UAV system. In order to implement control allocation scheme to aircraft control system, control system can be designed through two step design procedure. The first step is to design a baseline control system for an aircraft without consideration of control surface failure. The second step is to design a control allocator that maps the total control command on the individual control surfaces. In this paper, several control allocation methods such as Psuedo-Inverse CA method, Direct CA method, and Optimization CA method are implemented and integrated to the baseline flight control system of DURUMI-II UAV. The performance of these control allocation methods is evaluated by nonlinear simulation under the flight scenario of control surface failure.
