편대비행위성을 이용하여 우주간섭계 영상시스템을 구현하였을때 위성의 배치에 따른 점분포함수(Point Spread Function, PSF)를 계산하고 관측될 영상을 예측하여 편대비행위성 간섭계 관측시스템의 예상되는 성능을 분석하였다. 적외선과 가시광 영역에서 관측하는 경우에 대하여 단일구경과 합성구경 관측시스템의 점분포함수를 계산하고 이에 해당되는 예측 영상의 해상도를 비교하였을 때, 합성구경으로 관측 시 더 높은 해상도를 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 편대비행 위성을 이용하여 합성구경 관측을 하는 경우에 대하여 단순한 원형 배열뿐만 아니라 간섭계 관측에 유리한 골레이(Golay) 배열 등 다양한 위성 배치에 따른 점분포함수를 구하고 비교하여 위성 배치에 따른 간섭계관측 시스템의 성능 차이를 분석하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 실제 편대비행위성을 이용하여 간섭계 관측시스템을 구현할 때, 관측시스템을 구성하는 편대 위성의 개수와 배치를 효율적으로 결정할 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다.

This paper presents the analysis results of trajectory, performance and attitude control based on the first flight data of the KSLV-I. The KSLV-I had a fairing separation problem and failed to inject spacecraft into the orbit. In this paper, the trajectory, flight performance, and attitude control was analyzed considering the influence of unseparated fairing. Moreover, the flight results and performance of the inertial navigation and guidance system were presented. As a results of post-flight analysis, any other problem besides the fairing separation problem was not happened and onboard equipment functioned normally.

Recently, from a global perspective, the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles in terrorism and warfare is increasing, and the need for anti-drone shooting training targeting small UAVs is increasing. However, in reality, there are many cases in Korea where anti-drone shooting training is restricted, due to complaints such as noise. In this paper, we describe the development and testing of an electric-powered direct strike type high-speed, low-noise small aerial target drone. To achieve the flight speed and endurance required for shooting training, target drone sizing was performed, and aerodynamic performance analysis was conducted using a CFD program. Based on the performance analysis, the motor propulsion system was selected and a variable pitch propeller system was designed, and performance tests were performed on a ground test rig. Finally, the target flight speed, flight time, and flight noise level were confirmed through flight tests.

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.

A study of thermal characteristics of the airship considering radiation heat transfer has been conducted by building a numerical model for the airship in order to identify the possibility to obtain the reliable flight performance in severe stratospheric heat conditions. The variations of distributed temperature of the skin and the inner flow by free convection have been calculated according to the change of the solar position. As the results of the analyses, the stratospheric heat conditions slightly have an influence on the flight performance of the airship.

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 this paper, the equilibrium flight conditions of a Korean Traditional Bangpae Kite with low aspect ratio were analyzed by it's aerodynamic data of wind tunnel test. The data of aerodynamic forces and center of pressure of the Kite were used to calculate the relative length of bridles to satisfy the condition of settling the kite to the static equilibrium steady state between ${\theta}=30^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$. From this equilibrium flight performance analysis, we obtained ($0.88{\pm}0.02$)c of the rear bridle length corresponding to 0.88c of fixed front bridle length. These results were exact agreement with the relative bridle lengths by Korean classical method.

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.
