During the conceptual design phase of fighter class aircraft, the high speed wind tunnel test with 1/20 scale wing-body-tail model has been conducted to investigate the effects of leading edge flap deflection on the supersonic cruise performance of the aircraft. To select the proper leading edge flap deflection for the wind tunnel test, the aerodynamic characteristics due to various leading edge flap deflections have been analyzed by using corrected supersonic panel method. Based on the results obtained from the experimental and numerical approaches, the effects of leading edge flap deflection have shown to be useful to enhance the supersonic cruise performance of fighter class aircraft.

초음속 여객기의 천음속 순항 성능을 개선하기 위하여 날개의 플랩 꺽임각을 최적화하였다. 이를 위하여 3차원 Euler 코드와 adjoint 코드를 이용한 최적설계기법을 적용하였다. 설계변수로서, 앞전플랩 5개, 뒷전 플랩 5개 등 총 10개의 플랩의 꺽임각이 사용되었다. 설계과정중에 격자계 내부격자점의 수정을 위해 타원형방정식법을 이용하였다. 계산 시간의 단축을 위해 내부격자의 민감도는 무시하였다. 또한 본 설계문제에 근사구배기법의 적용가능성 여부를 조사하였다. 충격파가 없는 경우 앞전 플렙에 한하여 근사구배기법을 적용할 수 있음을 알았다. 최적설계기법으로 BFGS기법을 적용하여 항력을 최소화하였으며, 양력 및 날개 표면 마하수에 대한 제약조건을 적용하였다. 앞전 플랩의 최적화 및 앞전과 뒷전 플랩의 최적화 등 두 개의 설계 문제를 고려하였다. 성공적인 결과를 얻음으로써 본 설계방법의 타당성 및 효율성을 확인하였다.

Performance of injector equiped with screw type swirler which is suitable for supersonic cruise engine combustor was investigated using theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods. Based on discharge coefficient and spray angle which represent the performance of injectors, the geometrical parameters which affect these performance parameters were defined, control group injectors were designed, and variation of performance parameters according to the geometrical parameters were examined. Within the defined range, measured value of performance of injectors was smaller than result of theoretical prediction, and prediction result from numerical simulation using VOF method agreed with the result of experiments very well. The viscous barrier was not observed, and minimum discharge coefficient and maximum spray angle, 0.05 and 104 respectively, was obtained for this type of injector.

In this study, one type of ramjet intake were designed for the flight condition of Mach number 4 and numerical analysis was performed. In order to widen the flight envelope range (Mach number $2{\sim}6$), movable intake concept was applied. The central body was designed so that the capture area ratio which is one of most important factors of ramjet intake design could be adjusted. And various types of cowl and movable insert part of shell were designed in order to control throat area which could increase total pressure recovery. The numerical results showed that the designed ramjet intake could be applied in various flights Mach number.

To reduce drag force at supersonic speeds, sharp leading edge is hugely efficient. It is, however, incompatible with leading edge shape to have fine aerodynamic characteristics at subsonic and transonic speeds. It is critical to reduce drag force for enhanced cruise performance and higher efficiency. An air superiority fighter, however, required to have high maneuverability for survivability, and sharp leading edge is not proper. Consequently, variable leading edge is demanded to reduce drag force significantly at supersonic speeds for cruise performance. Leading edge altering system is constructed with rigid material to improve possibility of realization, and minimized movement of its components in altering for reduce effects on flight. It is compared with bi-convex airfoil and NACA 65-006 airfoil, which have comparable maximum thickness. At Mach number 1.7 and zero angle of attack, supersonic mode of designed airfoil indicates approximately 17% higher drag coefficient than the bi-convex airfoil indicates, it is, however, 23% lower than the NACA 65-006 indicates. Also, subsonic mode of the designed airfoil shows fine aerodynamic characteristics in comparison with NACA 65-006 airfoil in subsonic and transonic speed range. In this regard, design of the airfoil achieved the object of this study satisfactorily.
