FIight Test procedures are studied from FAR 23, AC 23-8, and Order 8110.7. We have been studied the main procedures for the type certification of light airplane from the experiences of Chang Gong 91. This study is intended as a reference for small airplane manufacturers, engineers, flight test engineers, and engineering flight test pilots, including government personnel. This study covers flight test items of interest during type certification. These methods and procedures are promulgated, in the interest of standardization, for use during normal category airplane flight test certification activities.

Military aircrafts usually operate at the area with lots of threats such as radars and surface-to-air missiles. Aircraft also faces with the unexpected or pop-up threats. Under this environment, a safe flight path should be generated to lead a mission successful. In this paper, a new path planning algorithm is proposed to provide less dangerous flight path efficiently. Of many path planning algorithms, a potential method is considered, because it has advantages of computation efficiency and smooth path generation. Trajectory generation under the condition of maximum range is studied so that the aircraft may reach the target area without refueling. The algorithm to cope with an unexpected situation is also proposed by adopting the concept of initial direction vector, additional force, and a new mapping function. The performance of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defences) mission by numerical simulation.

This paper presents a method to find a target using UAVs in LoRa communication environment. The proposed method proposes a UAV flight path so that the target signal can be found without blind spots. The flight path was changed by using the intensity of the transmitted signal during the flight using the variation of the signal strength. We verified the proposed method by simulation and confirmed that it takes a long time to track the target, although the efficiency of the 3 flights is high. It is best to fly three UAVs to reduce time to find target and increase efficiency when the time is a critical factor. The LoRa communication lowers the production cost and makes it possible to construct the system at low cost.

In order to complete missions in a complicated terrain or highly dangerous area, an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) needs a fine controller to precisely follow the desired path. A PID controller used for the path following feeds forward path curvature information to the control input to improve the path following performance. High gain for PID controller is necessary to follow path tightly. However the high gain could cause instability or performance degradation when the vehicle has slow dynamics. We present PID controller design method which considers response delay of vehicle as well as path curvature. In order to obtain path curvature the desired path is described as a 3rd order polynomial by applying cubic spline interpolation. We apply the proposed controller to the path following of a UAV which is operated in high altitude and has very slow lateral dynamics. The lateral dynamics are modelled as a first order delayed system in the controller design. Nonlinear simulation shows the UAV with proposed controller follows an arbitrary path very tightly.

20세기에 탄생한 동력비행기는 인간의 이동능력을 비약적으로 향상시켰다. 인류의 미개척지였던 항공분야의 발전은 지속적인 기술개발을 통해 더 빨리, 더 멀리, 더 높이 향하기 위해서 계속 나아가고 있다. 이러한와중에 최근에 괄목할 만한 성장을 이룬 컴퓨터와 소프트웨어 산업의 발전은 비행임무에 따라 위험성이 높거나, 사람이 하기 힘든 반복적이고 지루한 비행을 대신하기위한 로봇 비행체 즉, 무인항공기의 개발을 가능하게 하였다. 무인항공기의 탄생 초기에는 조종사의 희생을 줄이기 위해 군사 분야에서 주로 사용되었으나, 산림감시나 해안정찰, 기상관측, 재난관측, 조난자 수색 등 민수분야의 임무로 점차 활동영역이 넓혀지고 있다. 현재 무인항공기에 탑재된 인공지능의 수준은 안정된 비행이 가능하도록 하는 자동조종(autopilot)과 주어진 비행경로를 추종하기위한 항법유도(Navigation & Guidance)정도이며, 비행 중 발생하는 비상상황에 대처하기 위한 의사판단은 지상의 조종자에 의해 결정된다. 앞으로는 계획되지 않은 상황을 맞이했을 때 무인기 스스로 판단하여 경로를 변경하고, 동시에 여러 무인기들과 협력하여 임무를 수행함으로써 임무효율을 높이는 방향으로 인공지능의 수준이 향상될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 최근의 무인항공기 개발추세와 이들 무인기에 고려되고 있는 제어기에 대해 살펴보고, 향후 무인항공기에 적용될 자율비행 알고리듬과 제어기 시스템의 개발동향에 대해 고찰하였다.

인공위성 편대비행에서는 위성간 거리가 수 미터에서 수 킬로미터에 달하기 때문에 궤도 배치 및 재배치시 위성간 충돌의 문제는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 궤도 배치 및 재배치 단계에서 위성간 충돌을 피하고, 연료소모를 최소화시키면서 목적한 최종 배치를 만족시키는 최적경로를 산출하는 방법이 최근들어 연구되고 있다. 최적 경로를 산출하는 궤적 최적화 (Trajectory optimization) 문제를 풀기 위한 방법으로 크게 직접적인 (Direct) 방법과 간접적인 (Indirect) 방법이 있다. (중략)

In this paper, we present an implementation of indoor flight to navigate to the designated places capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our flight requires computer vision technique and smartphone device to allow it to be flown indoors without high-performance sensors which are too expensive to commercialization. The experimental result show that proposed implementation is fairly meaningful in a general building.

In this work, autonomous formation flight tests of multiple UAVs are experimentally studied. After a guidance and control system for a UAV is designed and tested, PID formation controller for follower UAV is tested using longitudinal and lateral distance feedback. It is shown that more stable and efficient formation guidance system is obtained by using position and attitude of the leader aircraft, which is exploited to calculate virtual waypoint for follower. In order to improve transient response during turn, part of roll command of the leader is added to the guidance command. Finally, autonomous formation flight test results of 3 UAVs are shown by using the best guidance algorithm suggested.
