The demand for e-VTOL aircraft is expected to be increased rapidly in the future as a means of urban transportation due to operating cost reduction, eco-friendliness and convenience of vertical take-off and landing using pilot-aids automation system. However, there are many technical hurdles to be solved in securing safety and certification which are essential for commercialization and urban operation. So far, there is no e-VTOL aircraft that has received type certificate and standard airworthiness certificate due to the technical problems and safety requirement differences with conventional aircraft. The e-VTOL aircraft certification should also meet the equivalent level of safety required by the current airworthiness standards, but there are existing problems in securing safety and meeting current standards. In this study, the e-VTOL's certification problems and technical limitations in satisfying the current standards are presented.

점증하는 항공교통량의 원활한 수용과 안전한 항공기술 저변확대를 위하여 ICAO는 성능기반의 항공교통관리(ATM) 체계와 시스템을 Upgrade할 구체적 이행계획인 ASBU를 개정하고 체약국들의 수용을 촉구하고 있고, 우리나라는 ICAO의 5연임 이사국으로서 ASBU의 주요 Module에 대응하는 모든 Working Paper에 대하여 적극 수용한다는 입장이다. 본 논문은 ASBU의 PIA 4에 해당하는 CDO 및 관련 Module인 TBO의 개념을 살펴보고, 선도적으로 운용되고 있는 사례를 분석해 봄으로써 미래에 대응하는 방안을 찾고자 하였다. CDO는 새로운 장비와 시스템을 갖추지 않더라도 절차의 보완으로 개선할 수 있는 부문에 속하므로 우리나라의 운영 현황을 리뷰하고 그 영향에 대하여 정리해 보았다. 다만, 항공기 고도 강하 단계에서의 개선효과가 상승 또는 순항 단계에 비하여 효율성이 상대적으로 미미한 편이고, ATM 구분 상 기상 등의 외부 변수에 취약하여 효율성 연구에 접근하기 어려운 면이 있으나, 고밀도 공항의 특화된 CDO 기법 개발을 통하여 연료절감 및 탄소배출량 저감, 소음감소의 성과를 이룬 선진 사례를 들어 국내에 적용할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 장기적으로 연구하고자 한다.

Since Korea has invested only on developing an aircraft, it is true that Korea has neglected detailed standards and procedures about certification activities including essential safety procedures. Most developed countries have implemented mandatory airworthiness system by legislating it for operational safety of aircraft based on ICAO Annex 8, and the U.S. Department of Defense and the FAA's Airworthiness system have been adapted it to the realities of their circumstance. Therefore, Airworthiness system that can guarantee the safety of the aircraft at international level is necessary to enhance flight safety and to create export opportunities of an aircraft as a country which can develop an aircraft by itself To achieve this, a study on the improvement of aircraft airworthiness was carried out by analyzing the problem of domestic airworthiness system and by reflecting international best practices on the establishment of a system for improved Airworthiness.

This paper describes the devlopment and implementation for the KOMPSAT-1 scheduling & automatic command plan generator(KSCG). Some problems in mission planning and command planning had occurred using the mission & command planning s/w in MAPS(Missin Analysis and Planning Subsystem) during the LEOP(Launch & Early Orbit Phase) & early normal mission phase due to lots of manual input process and non-automatic process. Therefore, the more mission operations for KOMPSAT-1. In order to prevent the development of new one(KSCG) which should reduce the manual process and generate automatically the command plan has been needed. As a result, the mission operations of KOMPSAT-1 has greatly became stable and more effient.

AeroMACS spectrum is a national resource internationally allocated by ITU at WRC-07. AeroMACS is an airport broadband mobile communication infrastructure based on WiMAX-based IEEE 802.16e that enables real-time video, graphics, voice, and high-speed data transmission. With the approval of ICAO's development technology standards in 2008, 50 airports in 11 countries have already completed the testing of D-TAXI or A-SMGCS technology using the AeroMACS infrastructure in 2019, starting in the United States in 2009. With many advantages in safety and convenience in terrestrial telecommunications operations, the system is becoming an area of performance improvement for airport operations in accordance with ICAO's ASBU plan. This paper examines the current status of domestic development of AeroMACS and lists service areas applicable to airlines and operators. It also seeks to promote safe and efficient next-generation airport mobile communication system services by presenting feasible partners management in the mobile area and use of aircraft communication systems for active technology development.

KSLV-I, a.k.a. Naro is the 1st Korean satellite launch vehicle, which was launched at Naro space center by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) in AUG. 2009, and JUN. 2010. Although the missions of 1st and 2nd launch of KSLV-I - inject the space craft into the designated orbit - were not successful, safety of launch vehicle was accomplished through the cooperation with the Russian partner Khrunichev Space Research and Production Center (KhSC). Both parties co-developed the safety management program to ensure launch safety. In this paper, the analysis and contents of safety program are illustrated.

Safety and Reliability assessments of Avionics Parts must be conducted essentially in the step of disign and manufacture as it constitutes a major field of aircraft critical operation. Recently Avionics parts fabrication techniques are continuously developing by applying digital techniques. Airborne computer is being adopted on an aircraft for flight is being adopted on an aircraft for flight safety augmentation and simplification of controls including reduction of human error. Therefore inspection and evaluation procedures should be developed in order to accomodate such trends. The number of avionics parts is approximitely 72% of total TSO parts, so it is expected high added-values through manufactures of TSO parts in aircraft industries. Particuarly avionics parts must be manufacturered with our own technology to be used in Mid-class aircraft which will be developed soon. Along with this, preparation of Certification Procedures is essential for Avionics Parts.

Airworthiness certification is critical, in ensuring the flight safety of military aircraft for development tests and production operations. The MIL-HDBK-516C, latest airworthiness certification document, handles the field of flying qualities in Chapter 6 (flight technology), and refers to specific chapters of MIL-STD-1797B, which is the specification document for developing military aircraft. Since the MIL-STD-1797B released in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Defense is not disclosed to other countries, the Chapter 6 (flight technology) of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded, the former certification standards pursuant to flying qualities, has to be applied to military aircraft being developed in the Republic of Korea. However the requirements of Chapter 6 of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded comprise unclear sentences, because of contents from various development specifications. Also, clarification is needed in that the same requirements have to be verified in different criteria. In this paper, the results of this study present an effective verification method, for acquiring the airworthiness certification in field of flying qualities based on MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded.

It is necessary to develop digital flight control system by digital control technology to ensure stability and maneuverability of rotary helicopter. It is important to meet functional requirements of helicopter flight control system OFP and verify system reliability directly linked to flight safety as a core technology that avoids the transfer of technology by overseas advanced helicopter manufacturer. In this paper, we studied how to perform FMET for operational flight program of rotary automatic flight control system.
