한국항공우주연구원 추진기관팀은 1999년 10월에 3,000 lbf 급 고공환경 엔진시험 설비를 갖추고 소형 가스터빈 엔진의 고공환경 성능시험에 이를 활용하고 있다. 하지만 새롭게 2008년부터 고공환경 성능시험을 진행하고 있는 엔진은 1,000 lbf 미만의 초소형 엔진으로써 기존 추력측정 시스템을 이용하여서는 정확한 추력의 측정을 보장할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 초소형 엔진의 고공환경 성능시험 수행을 위한 추력대의 구축 과정을 다루고 있다.

A full rig combustor test and altitude ignition test were carried out for radial-annular combustor of micro turbojet engine. 11.2% total pressure loss and 99.85% of combustion efficiency were measured at design point of engine under sea level standard condition and $2{\sim}6$ of air excess ratio for ignition envelope was achieved on engine starting regime. Finally, A 30,000 ft high altitude ignition test was also performed and finally we found out that the developed radial-annular combustor is appropriate to micro turbojet engine.

Infrared signal measurement are conducted from a micro-turbo jet engine with different nozzle configurations. The conventional cone type, a S-shaped type with aspect ratio 5.2 and five rectangular type nozzle with different aspect ratios are used for this experiment work. The result show that infrared signal from the exhaust gas decrease as the aspect ratio increase. In case of S-shaped nozzle, the maximum infrared signal is reduced about 28.4% when compared of rectangular nozzle with aspect ratio 5(AR5).

Micro turbojet engine test and infrared signal measurement were conducted to understand the characteristics of the engine performance and infrared signal with the variants of the exhaust nozzle configuration. A cone type nozzle and five rectangle type nozzles which has aspect ratio from one to five were used for the experimental work. The results show that there are not much difference between cone and rectangle nozzles of the thrust and specific fuel consumption. However infrared signal from exhaust gas become smaller as increasing aspect ratio.

An experimental study was performed to understand spray characteristics of the slinger injector. system for the micro turbojet engine. In this fuel injection system, fuel is sprayed and atomized in the combustor by centrifugal forces of engine shaft. This experimental apparatus consist of a high speed rotating Spindle, slinger injector, pressure tank and acrylic case. The droplet size and velocity were measured by PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) and spray was visualized by using Nd-Yag laser-based flash photography. From the test results, the droplet size(SMD) is largely affected to rotational speed, mass flow rate and the number of injection orifice. From the this experimental study, we could understand the spray characteristics of the slinger injection system and obtain the optimum shape of the slinger injector nozzle which is suitable for the micro turbojet engine.

In this paper, Proposed controller prevent compressor surge and reduce the acceleration time of the fuel flow control system for turbo-jet engine. Turbo-jet engine controller is designed by applying fuzzy PI+D control algorithm and make an inference by applying Mamdani's inference method and the defuzzification using the center of gravity method. Fuzzy inference results are used as the fuel flow control inputs to prevent compressor surge and flame-out for turbo-jet engine and the controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using MATLAB to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller.

In the study of control technique for a turbojet engine model, the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy logic controller has been designed based on the model identification by the well designed PI controlled system through T-S neuro-fuzzy inference system. To enhance this designed controller, those procedures are proposed that certainty factors are adopted to each rule of objective groups which are classified by the fuzzy C-Means algorithm and the satisfaction degrees are matched to meet the objectives. This proposed technique shows its feasibility by upgrading performances of the previously well-designed T-S fuzzy controller.

A slinger combustor which can be applied to micro turbojet engine has been developed with the combustor rig test. A rotating fuel injector with high speed rpm was designed, manufactured and tested to apply into slinger combustor through spray test and adequate droplet size and spray distribution were achieved. The CFD was used to analyze internal flow of the combustor. We found out that the combustor shows 11.2% of pressure loss and 99.8% of combustion efficiency at full combustor rig test.

In this paper, controller Propose to prevent compressor surge and improve the transient response of the fuel flow control system of turbojet engine. Turbojet engine controller is designed by applying Artificial Neural Network PID control algorithm and make an inference by applying Artificial Neural Network Error Back Propagation Algorithm. To prevent any surge or a flame out event during the engine acceleration or deceleration, the ANN PID controller effectively controls the fuel flow input of the control system. ANN PID results are used as the fuel flow control inputs to prevent compressor surge and flame-out for turbo-jet engine and the controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using MATLAB to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller. Response characteristics pursuant to the gain were analyzed by simulation.

In this paper we propose a turbojet engine controller of unmanned aircraft based on the Fuzzy-PI algorithm. To prevent any surge or a flame out event during the engine acceleration or deceleration, the PI-type fuzzy controller effectively controls the fuel flow input of the control system. The fuzzy inference rule made by the logarithm function of acceleration error improves the tracking error. Computer simulations applied to the linear model of a turbojet engine show that the proposed method has good tracking performance for the reference acceleration and deceleration commands.
