The engine core of a 65hp-turboshaft engine for UAV is developed and modified into a 55lbf-turbojet engine. Since the core engine is installed with a propelling nozzle, which has the same mass flow characteristics as the power generator of the turboshaft engine its mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics are basically the same as those of the complete engine. Engine output is not shaft power but thrust force that is easier to measure. The core engine is very useful for core test purpose. Besides, the core engine itself can be directly used for propulsion of small air vehicles.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the fluid dynamic behavior of the automotive closed type water pump with balance hole in order to evaluate and justify its overall hydraulic performance and, in particular to analyze the effects of the balance hole on the reduction of hydraulic flow force of it. The analysis has been peformed by applying the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent, to the solution of the 3-D turbulent flow fields of automotive closed type water pump. The reliability of the employed analysis was demonstrated by the comparison between numerical result and experimental data. Although, hydraulic head of the closed type water pump with 3mm diameter of balance hole decreased by 1.1%, axial flow force was effectively reduced by 13.3%, comparison of it with no hole at design point.

본 논문에서는 쿼터니온 궤환 개념이 기존의 오일러각 궤환 개념에 비해 추력벡터제어(Thrust Vector Control) 방식을 사용하는 전술 유도탄 자세제어에 보다 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보인다. 오일러각 궤환 방식을 택한 기존의 자세제어기에서 오일러각 궤환 부분을 쿼터니온 궤환으로 적절히 바꾸어 주게 되면 자세명령 크기 변화에 따른 시간응답 특성의 변화를 줄일 수 있으며, 쿼터니온 궤환 방식을 택할 경우, 우주비행체 자세제어 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 고유축(Eigen Axis) 회전에 의한 자세변환을 수행할 수 있는 자세제어기 설계가 가능하다. 고유축 회전은 최단경로에 의한 자세변환 개념이므로, 이러한 능력을 갖춘 자세제어기는 신속한 자세변환이 필요한 전술 유도탄의 초기비행에 매우 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 더욱이, 제어법칙에 공력모멘트를 보상하는 항을 추가하게 되면 변화가 심한 공력 모멘트가 유도탄의 회전운동에 미치는 영향을 줄일 수 있어 고유축 회전성능을 보다 개선시킬 수 있다. 우선, 오일러각 궤환보다 쿼터니온 궤환이 유리한 점을 논하고, 쿼터니온 궤환에 근거한 자세제어기의 설계 개념과 제안된 제어기에 의해 구성되는 폐루우프에 대한 안정성 문제를 다룬 후, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 타당성을 검증한다.

The aircraft engine is to generate thrust for the maneuver of aircraft and to provide the power to the related hydraulic system and electrical system. Since the power provided to the systems is extracted from the high pressure compressor of aircraft engine, the extracted power is called horsepower extraction (HPX). If the HPX provided from the engine is smaller than the HPX required from the related systems, there could be abnormal engine behavior, like engine rollback or stall. Analysis on comparing the required HPX and the engine HPX capability had been performed during the T/A-50 FSD (Full Scale Development) period. The analysis results make the engine schedule changed, and T/A-50 flight test has been performed with the changed engine schedule. The analysis results and changing the engine control schedule were verified to be valid with the flight test results.

To evaluate structural safety factor of the jet vane for the thrust deflection system under the dynamic pressure and very high temperature($2700^{\circ}C$) of the combustion gas flow, the high temperature tension tests of refractory metals and 3-D nonlinear numerical simulations are performed. Through the analysis of high temperature structural behavior for jet vane, the structural safety of jet vane is evaluated, and numerical results are compared with static pound tests of jet vanes. It has been found that most of structural and thermal loading is concentrated on the vane shaft which worked as safe under $1400^{\circ}C$. From the comparison of static ground tests and numerical results, the evaluation criterion using the vane load and shaft displacement is more useful to estimate the structural safety than using the equivalent stress.

Thrust vector control system is a control device which is mounted on the exit of the nozzle to generate pitch, yaw and roll directional force by deflecting flow direction of the supersonic jet from the nozzle. Thermal and aerodynamic loads are acting on the surface of jet vane when it is exposed to the jet flow. Axial thrust loss and side thrust loss are affected by shock patterns and interactions between jet-vanes which varies with jet-vane geometry and turning angle. In this research, the performance estimation using the numerical simulation analysis of the nozzle is given and the investigation of the flow visualization and aerodynamic performance with the enforced power to the vane is taken.

A computational investigation has been carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics of jet vane assembly used for the thrust vector control(TVC) of a vertical launch motor. In this study, the coefficients of convective heat transfer on the jet vane are calculated using the solutions of thermal boundary-layer equation and several semi-empirical equations. The calculation of 3-dimensional temperature distribution for the jet vane assembly was performed using the softwares called PATRAN and ABAQUS. The accuracy of the present numerical method is verified by comparing with the measured and calculated temperatures within jet vane shaft. The temporal variation of jet vane temperatures for three deflection angles(0o, 12.5o, 25o) was discussed.
