This paper presents the results of the design, fabrication and tether test for a gross weight 20 kg tilt-duct VTOL aerial robot. The tilt-duct vehicle, a tri-ducts air-vehicle, which composed of two main tilt ducts for thrust and an aft-fan for pitch attitude control, has been developed as an aerial platform. The research on the air vehicle has been focused on the hover characteristics and controllability to improve the thrust and stability. The tether test for measuring various performance of vehicle and evaluating controllability have been carried out to figure out effects of modified main-prop linkage, actuator, duct configuration and control surfaces.

In this study, transonic/supersonic nonlinear flutter analysis system of a complete aircraft including forced harmonic motion pf control surfaces has been effectively developed using the modified transonic small disturbance (TSD) equation. To consider the nonlinear effects, the coupled time marching method (CTM) combining computational structural dynamics (CFD) has been directly applied for aeroelastic computations. The grid system for a complex full aircraft configuration is effectively generated by the developed inhouse code. Intransonic and supersonic flight regimes, the characteristics of static and dynamic aeroelastic effect has been investigated for a complete aircraft model. Also, nonlinear flutter flight simulations for the forced harmonic motion of control surfaces are practically presented in detail.

최근 다양한 센싱장치와 HCI 디바이스를 결합하여 로봇이나 기계장치를 구동하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 또한 기존의 RC방식의 무인비행체 조작은 관련분야의 전문성을 필요로 할 만큼 접근하기 어려운 면이 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 소형 무인비행체(UAV)의 움직임 제어를 위해 데이터 글로브의 손가락 구부러짐을 인식하여 이를 통해 무인비행체를 조작하는 원격조종장치에 관한 시스템 구조 및 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 시스템을 통해 비전문가로 하여금 무인비행체의 접근성을 높이며 다양한 분야에 활용 할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 데이터 글로브의 센싱 데이터에 대한 조합 및 해석방식을 정의하고, 이를 데이터 글로브의 손가락 구부러짐 해석에 적용하였다. 또한 조합된 명령신호를 전송하는 무인비행체의 구동 제어를 위한 비동기 Uplink 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

The Fly-By-Wire system was first applied to the fighter and its inherent advantages lead to the advent of the Fly-By-Wire civil aircraft. Recently even the small jet aircraft shows the trend of adopting the Fly-By-Wire system. In the future, most of the aircraft are expected to be the Fly-By-Wire type. In this paper, the structure and the characteristics of the Fly-By-Wire system applied to the civil aircraft was described. The development trend of the redundant method of the flight control system, data communication system, control surface actuation system and the control laws implemented by the Fly-By-Wire system of the civil aircraft are discussed.

Redundant control surfaces arc adopted to modern aircraft designs because of high performance and fault tolerant control, so efficient redundancy management is necessary to take advantage of redundant control surfaces. This paper focuses on the control allocation scheme as one of redundancy management methods. A modified pseudo inverse redistribution method is proposed. The existing method sets all saturated controls as their limit values when a pseudo inverse is calculated. But the modified scheme sets only one saturated control as its limit value and redistributes remaining controls. It is shown that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing method by several numerical examples.

현재까지 항공기에 적용되는 기술들은 수많이 발전해왔다. 조종사의 편의성을 위한 기술들 또한 많이 발전해왔다. 자동운항 등 많은 기술들이 조종사를 보조하며 편의성을 위해 사용되고 있다. 하지만 비행기가 처음 만들어 졌을 때부터 바뀌지 않은 조종의 방식과 항공기의 국제성이 가지는 장시간의 비행은 여전히 조종사에게는 큰 피로를 안겨주고 있다. 본 논문은 조종사들의 피로를 경감 시켜 피로로 인해 발생 할 수 있는 사고들을 예방하기 위해 음성인식을 적용하여 새로운 조종의 방식인 '음성인식을 통한 항공기 조종면의 제어' 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 손을 사용한 조종방식이 아닌 컴퓨터와 조종사의 대화를 통해 데이터를 처리하고 즉각적인 피드백을 받으며 조종사의 편의성을 증가시켜 나아가 피로를 경감 시킬 수 있다.

The purpose of the present study is to develop lightweight and simple smart actuators in order to replace conventional hydraulic/pneumatic actuators, and to apply the developed actuators to the actuation systems of a small unmanned air vehicle. This research describes the procedures of design, manufacturing of the piezo-composite actuator, and the performance evaluation. From the test results of the developed devices, we found the possibility of piezo-composite actuator could be used as a control surface of a small UAV system. We have designed and manufactured two kinds of piezo-composite actuators, unimorph actuator and bimorph actuator. The manufactured actuators were evaluated through the performance testes. It was found that the bimorph type actuator showed more linear angle change for the same excitation voltage variation than unimorph type. It is expected that piezo-composite actuator has a possibility to be used not only as a control surface of small unmanned flying vehicle but also as a control surface actuator of a guided missile fin through the miniaturization of power supply and control system.

로켓 조종장치는 크게 추력방향 조종(TVC, Thrust Vector Control) 장치, 측면추력조종(Lateral Thrust Control) 장치 그리고 공기역학 조종면으로 분류할 수 있다. 조종장치의 공통된 특징은 모터가 작동하거나 유도탄이 비행할 때만 타의 효과가 발생한다는 점이다. 그러므로 조종장치를 개발하기 위해서는 이상류 초음속 유동이나 삼음속 이상의 자유유동(freestream)을 지상에서 효과적으로 모의할 수 있는 지상 시험장치가 필요하다. 이 시험장치에는 초음속 풍동과 유동 시험장치(cold-flow test stand), 그리고 6분력 트러스트 스텐드가 포함된다. 삼성항공은 우주용 추진기관의 성능을 지상에서 간단한 장치를 구현하여 시험할 수 있는 모의연소 시험장치, 노즐유동에 포함된 고체입자를 직접 수집할 수 있는 고체입자 포집장치 등 각종 시험장치를 제작하였다. 이를 바탕으로 차세대 전술유도탄의 핵심기술가운데 하나인 조종장치와 이를 효과적으로 개발하기 위한 지상 시험장치 확보에 착수하고 있다.

When control surface failure occurs, it is conventional to correct a current control or to transform to other control. In this paper, instead of adopting a conventional way, a reconfiguration method which compensate the failure with alternative control surface deflection, depending on the level of failure, by using neural network and PCH(Pseudo-Control Hedging). The Conroller is designed of inner-loop(SCAS : Stability Command Augmentation System) with DMI(Dynamic Model Inversion) and outer-loop with Y axis acceleration feedback for a coordinate turn. Additionally, double PCH method was adopted to prevent actuator saturation and input command was generated to compensate for failure. At the end, The feasibility of the method is validated with randomly selected failure scenarios.
