Gearboxes for power transmission of a rotorcraft transfer power generated by an engine to the fan and the pusher for up, down and forward flight. The gearboxes are divided into the main gearbox and the sub-gearbox. The main goal of the gearbox design is to design the weight as light as possible within a range that satisfies all given requirements (transmission power, mounting space, etc.). In particular, the initial conceptual design is very important to reduce the weight of the gearbox, since the weight can vary greatly depending on the system configuration, even if it has the same function. In this study, various conceptual designs of the gearbox according to the installation position of the engine were presented. Also, the element parts such as gears and bearings in each concept design were designed by sizing for their life, and the estimated weights of the conceptual system configuration were compared.

In 2016 Kumamoto, Japan, the foreshocks of $M_j$ 6.5 and 6.4, mainshock of $M_j$ 7.3 besides more than 2,000 aftershocks occurred in succession. Large surface deformation occurred due to this serial earthquakes and three-dimensional measurements of the deformation have been presented for the study of fault structures (Baek, 2017). The 3d measurements retrieved from two ascending pairs (20160211_20160602, 20151119_20160616) and a descending pair (20160307_20160418) acquired from ALOS PALSAR-2. In order to avoid mixing ionospheric error components on along-track surface deformation, the descending multiple-aperture interferogram, which do not contain the deformation of aftershocks after 20160418, was utilized. For these reason, there was a temporal discrepancy of about 2 months in extracting the north-south deformation. In this study, we applied a directional filter based ionospheric correction to ascending multiple-aperture interferograms, in order to reduce this discrepancy and understand more accurate fault movements. As a result of the ionospheric correction, an additional displacement signal was observed nearby fault lines. The root-mean-squared errors compared to GPS were about 9.87, 8.13 cm respectively. These results show improvements of 4.8 and 6.4 times after ionospheric correction. We expected that these along-track measurements would be used to decide more accurate movements of faults related to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake.
