In this work the realistic install performance analysis of a helicopter was performed together with power extraction enabling to operate auxiliary system as well as intake pressure loss, loss due to bleed air, etc. which must be considered in practical propulsion system's performance modelling to be installed to the airframe. The pressure loss occurring in intake was estimated from the intake performance map with relationships of Mach Number and pressure loss. In order to evaluate the proposed installed performance model, the experimental data for comparison must be needed when mounted in propulsion system. However because of lack of accessibility to such real data at the moment, the alternative way was made through comparison that the analysis results by the proposed model were compared with a wellknown commercial program GASTURB's analysis results. The validity of the proposed installed performance model was consequently confirmed because its average deferences from the GASTURB's results were within 0.5%.

Open Rotor Engine is one of the several new technologies offering potential solution for the next generation aircraft. The coupling of ultra high bypass ratio and aerodynamically advanced fan blade design allow the open rotor engine to achieve and advantage in fuel consumption. The open rotor engine does have more thrust lapse than the general high bypass turbofan. The open rotor engine performance model was analyzed using a reference data based on the GE36 which was designed and tested data at which time a F404 turbojet was used as the core. The performance model of open rotor engine was verified by referred test data and was evaluated to be properly constructed, through the comparison of recent Next generation turboprop engine performance.

Design and performance evaluation of $H_2O_2$ monopropellant thrusters to be used at attitude control of space launch vehicles were presented in this paper. Flight model thrusters were designed after two reactors for 100, 250 Newton were conformed at engineering model. Each thruster was evaluated by measurement of characteristic velocity, thrust, specific impulse, and pulse response times.

An efficient performance model for scramjet engines has been proposed for scramjet performance design. In supersonic air intake design, the compression angles of the wedge were determined to maximize the total pressure recovery of the intake based on Oswatisch criterion. Both combustion models of chemical equilibrium and finite-rate chemistry model are implemented, and compared each model with the results by Starkey for Waverider engine configuration. Finally, the performance model of concern has been confirmed by conducting performance analysis with hypothetical mission profile and design conditions.

Scramjet engine is one of the core parts of hypersonic vehicle of next generation and being investigated by many countries. Korea Aerospace Research Institute performed a ground test of the model scramjet engine S1 in 2007. And, S2 model which is improved from S1 model in engine startability and thrust was tested with HIEST (High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel) at Kakuda Space Center of JAXA. Design condition of S2 model was Mach 6.7, however, it was tested at Mach 7.7 as an off-design condition test. As a test result, flow separation was found at the inside of the intake, but the engine showed stable combustion pressure distribution. Furthermore, compared to other test models, S2 model showed a good performance value in thrust and specific impulse.

Solid propulsion systems have simple structures compared to other propulsion systems and are suitable to long-term storage. However the systems generally have limits on control of thrust levels. In this paper we suggest control algorithms for combustion chamber pressure of variable thrust solid propulsion systems using special nozzles such as pintle valve. For this we use a simple pressure change model by considering only mass conservation within the combustion chamber, design a classical algorithm and also a nonlinear controller using feedback linearization technique. Derived thrust equation and designe a thrust control model. We design the proportion-integral controller for linearizing about operating point. We also demonstrate the performance of controller model through numerical simulations.

A performance evaluation is made in terms of thrust, impulse bit. and specific impulses for a set of mono-propellant hydrazine thrusters producing 0.95 lbf of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia. With a brief description on the hot-firing test configuration and procedures. a typical data obtained from steady-state firing mode is given directly showing the variational behavior of propellant supply pressure, mass flow rate, vacuum condition, and thrust. The performance features are successfully compared to the reference criteria of 1-lbf standard mono-propellant rocket engine. Additionally. a statistical inter-thruster treatment is concisely depicted for the justification of selected thrusters as a grouped member of flight model for spacecraft propulsion system.

The analysis of performance and internal flow according to various numerical models for interior ballistics has been conducted. The initial flow has been mainly affected by the drag model of propellants and their drag degradation reduces oscillations of differential pressure between the breech and the shot base. Models of Nusselt number haven't influenced the major performance of interior ballistics. The negative differential pressure isn't generated in the case without the heat transfer of propellants.

To guarantee the proper functions of a satellite in the extreme space environment, the several test models are developed generally. There are advantages that the design and the analysis of Flight Model(FM) can be validated through these test models, and the functional reliabilities can be increased by reflecting the modifications on the final design of FM. The integration and test of Structure & Thermal Model(STM) of KOMPSAT, being currently developed, have been completed. In this paper, the processes of design/analysis and integration of the STM propulsion system, one of the KOMPSAT modules, are described.
