Korea Utility Helicopter(KUH) is a project to replace the aging helicopter presently being operated by the military with a domestic helicopter. The auxiliary power unit is a device that supplies emergency power to the system by an alternator installed when the main generator fails and the start motor converts the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical rotational energy to rotate the auxiliary power unit engine. With continuing power and operation, defects of the starting motor were found and improvements were carried out to solve it. In the failure mode analysis, the causes of possible defects were classified into 5 categories. Analysis of the 5 factors revealed that the main cause of defects is mechanical wear, which was found to be related to spring pressure. 250 tests were conducted through the theoretically determined pressure and regression analysis was performed with 4 sampling.The results showed that pressure was related to wear rate. In conclusion, early wear and breakage due to wear can be controlled through spring force and test showed the prediction of wear and the validity of the result were confirmed.

This paper contains a review of problems in the localized blade manufacturing process through KUH program and research for improvement of it. Contrary to development, mass production needs reliable process due to the long period of supply. The main process of blade manufacturing(Lay-Up, Curing) accepts new equipment(Robot, Heatmold) for improvement of it. And then, the evaluation is performed. Additionally, it is proven that blade which is made by the new process is suitable for mass production by conducting a performance test in the development phase.

헬리콥터 주 로터 시스템은 헬리콥터 전체 성능을 좌우하고, 비행특성을 결정하는 핵심 구성품이다. 주 로터 시스템은 회전하면서 추력 및 조종력을 발생시키기 때문에 동적 밸런싱을 맞추는 것도 중요한 개발단계업무 중에 하나이다. 주 로터 시스템의 개발 과정에서 헬리콥터 비행시제 장착 전에 동적 밸런스 시험, 성능시험, 안정성 시험 등을 포함하는 훨시험(whirl test)을 수행하게 된다. 이 시험 수행을 위해 제작되는 시험장치가 훨타워(whirl tower)이다. 세계 유수 헬리콥터 회사들은 주 로터 훨시험을 위한 설비인 훨타워를 보유하고 있으며, 지속적으로 성능 개량 등을 통해 최신의 기술 및 장비를 적용하여 운영하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 해외 헬리콥터 회사들의 훨타워의 사례를 설명하고 설비의 기능을 기술함으로써 기술적 동향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 현재 한국형헬기개발사업(KHP)에서 구축중인 다목적 의 WTTF(whirl tower test facility) 요구조건 및 설계 현황에 대해서도 기술하였다. 당 연구원의 WTTF는 한국형기동헬기(KUH)의 주 로터 훨시험 및 내구성 시험을 위해 구축되고 있다. 본 시험설비는 연구개발용 시험과 양산용 시험을 모두 수행할 수 있도록 다목적으로 개발될 예정이다. 본 설비는 기존 해외 설비와는 차별화되어 다목적 시험을 할 수 있도록 설계가 진행중이며, 2008년12월에 구축 완료 예정이다.

This study is meaningful in finding out what legal and policy issues need to be improved in order to foster the aircraft industry, which is relatively underdeveloped compared to the fact that some heavy industries, such as the automobile industry and shipbuilding industry, have achieved a high level of production and technology globally. Korea's aircraft industry has been growing at a slower pace than other industries, largely due to the country's economic growth and the lack of a market structure to properly use variables such as the level of development in related industries, aircraft technology and demand for aircraft manufacturing. While most industries are privately led by the market structure of the competition system, heavy industries such as the aircraft industry generally grow under the market structure of the incomplete competition system, because only by securing huge initial investment costs, high technology, and sufficient demand, they can maintain minimum economic feasibility. The Korean aircraft industry was focused on developing and mass-producing military aircraft focusing on military demand, but it sought to turn the tide by signing the BASA (Bileral Aviation Safety Agreement) with the U.S. A preliminary feasibility study was conducted in 2010 to develop next-generation medium-sized aircraft, but was cancelled due to differences in position with Canada's Bombardier, which is subject to the concourse, and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is pushing for the production of Bombardier's Q400 license on its own. Compared to the mid-to-large sized civil aircraft that are facing difficulties in development, KAI and KARI are successfully developing technologies to unmanned aerial vehicles and civil helicopters. In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle sector is not yet suitable for manufacturers that have an exclusive global influence, so we believe that it is necessary to pursue government-led research and development projects with a focus on the areas of commercial helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles in order to foster the aircraft industry in the future. In addition, since military aircraft such as KT-1 and T-50 are currently being exported smoothly, and it cannot be overlooked that the biggest demand for aircraft manufacturing in the Korea is the military, it is necessary to push forward national R&D projects and defense R&D program simultaneously to enable both civilian-military development. However, there are many differences between the two projects in the way they are implemented, the department in charge and the royalty system. Through this study, we learned about the technology ownership and implementation rights of national R&D projects and defense R&D programs, as well as the royalty system. In addition, problems with the system were identified and improvement measures were derived.

최근 수재해에 대응하기 위한 물관리 환경은 기후변화에 따른 홍수 피해 심화와 댐과 하천 시설의 노후화 점증, 하천관리일원화 등 정책적 변화, 그리고 포스트코로나 디지털 혁신 등 복합적 대전환 시대 진입에 따라 복잡다단한 양상을 보이고 있다. 디지털 트윈은 디지털 대전환(digital transformation) 시대 다양한 산업 영역에서 지능화와 생산성 향상을 목적으로 도입되고 있다. 본 국가 시범사업에서는 170 km에 달하는 섬진강 유역 전체를 대상으로 홍수에 대응하기 위한 디지털 트윈 플랫폼(K-Twin SJ)을 구축하고 있다. 본 플랫폼은 국가 인프라 지능정보화 사업의 일환으로 시작되었으며, 공간정보와 시설물 모델링, 홍수 분석 등 수재해에 대응하기 위한 수자원 분야의 다학제적인 강소기업들과 K-water에서 컨소시엄을 구성하여 추진하고 있다. 본 사업의 내용은 섬진강 댐-하천 유역에 대하여 고정밀도 3D 공간정보화, 실시간 물관리 데이터 연계, 홍수 분석 시뮬레이션, AI 댐 운영 최적화, AI 사면 정보 생성, 하천 제방 안전성 평가, AI 지능형 CCTV 영상분석, 간이 침수피해 예측, 드론 제약사항 조사 체계 개발을 포함하고 있다. 물관리 데이터와 하천 시설정보를 트윈 플랫폼 상에서 위치기반으로 시각화 표출하기 위해서는 유역의 공간정보를 3차원으로 구축하는 과정이 필수적이다. 따라서 GIS 기반의 섬진강 하천 중심 공간정보 구축을 위해 유역의 국가 정사영상과 5m 수치표고모형(DEM)은 최신성과를 협조 받아 적용하였으며, 홍수 분석을 위한 하천 중심 공간정보는 신규 헬기에 LiDAR 매핑을 수행하여 0.5m 급 DEM을 신규 구축하였다. 또한 하천 시설물 중 섬진강댐과 79개 주요 하천 횡단 교량과 3개 보 시설을 지상기준점 측량과 드론 매핑, 패턴 방식의 경량화 작업을 통해 트윈에 탑재할 수 있는 시설물 3D 객체 모델을 제작하였다. 홍수 분석을 위해서는 섬진강 유역에 대해 K-Drum, K-River, K-Flood 모델을 구축하였으며, AI 하천 수위 예측 학습 모델을 개발하였다. 섬진강 디지털 트윈 유역 물관리 플랫폼을 통해 데이터 기반의 똑똑한 물관리를 구현하고자 한다.

This study performed the structure analysis for development and localization of main and nose wheel in Korean Helicopter Program(KHP). Structural stability of wheel is evaluated using ANSYS. Considering wheel and tire interface, Stress analysis was conducted by applying pneumatic of tire, static load, radial load and combined load on main and nose wheel. Considering yield strength at which plastic deformation occurs, simulation results suggest the method which increases structure stability after comparing maximum stress and yield strength.

The aircraft manufacturing industry is a profitable business and has the potential to be an important export business. Our trade deficit needs to be improved in aircraft manufacturing part. Our national aircraft industry, which has been recognized for its quality in many domestic and international Air Shows, has developed the T/A-50 aircraft from the origins of the KT-1. With the ongoing development of the next generation fighter planes and helicopters, business for the next generation domestic air cargo has bright prospects. Judging by the history of the overseas air force dispatch during the Vietnam, Gulf, and Iraqi wars whose main mission was air transportation, there will be many opportunities to show the excellence of Korean air cargo in the future. The purpose of this study is to discover the optimal scale of air cargo development using the AHP method. The authors evaluated the scale of air cargo in size and capacity based on the following 5 standards used Korean developing airliner: usability, economics, technology, safety, and environmental friendliness. Then, the authors modified specific standards suitable for air cargo based on literature review Decision-making groups were chosen for suitability of expert staff in charge because they could represent for leading opinions in this specialized area especially as in practical aspects. The participants of the evaluation were pilots, transportation officers and management staff in the KAI who have experienced over 5years.
