This paper deals with the implementation of a robust multivariable controller using DSP board and the application to real systems. The LQG/LTR (Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery) controller proposed by Doyle et al.[1,2] is adopted to design the control system. A helicopter propeller setup is taken as the controlled system in the current paper, and the mathematical model is derived to design the multivariable controller. The performance of the controller is evaluated via simulations, and implementation and application to the MIMO system shows that the control performances are satisfactory and superior to those of the PID controller.

The helicopter rotor system generates lift, thrust, maneuvering force and moment to the helicopter with the torque and pitch control force transferred from the main rotor hub/control. And the tail rotor system generates the thrust for yaw axis control of the helicopter with the torque and pitch control force transferred from the tail rotor hub/control. Ground whirl test shall be performed to verify the compliance of requirement performance test and dynamic test of rotor blade and hub/control. This paper describes a design of whirl tower test facility for helicopter rotor system test and evaluation. Design results are summarized and compared with design requirements.

The objective of this research is to design blade planform to reduce high speed impulsive(HSI) noise from a non-lifting helicopter rotor using CFD method and optimization techniques. As for the aero-acoustic analysis, CFD technique for aerodynamic analysis and Kirchhoff's method for the acoustic analysis were used. As for the optimization method, Kriging-based genetic algorithm(GA) model as a high-fidelity optimization method was chosen. Design variables and constraints are determined for arbitrary blade planform. The result shows that the optimized blade planform with high swept-back and taper ratio can reduce HSI noise by suppressing generation of the strong shock wave on blade surface and propagation of the noise to the farfield flow region.

Yoke is a part of rotor in unmanned helicopter. It was transferred power of engine to the rotor. It has been usually produced by machining and used wastefully material. And it has been considered to improve its proof stress against repeated loading of the products. Therefore we studied Forging process for satisfaction of these ability and process design for yoke forming has been studied by using FE analysis. Die design and forming analysis have been performed according to the conditions such as billet volume, flash control, cavity filling, and the distribution of damage in the products. In the comparison between die forging processes, side punch effects has been investigated by considering billet dimensions.

In this paper, an improved small-scaled blade prototype was designed with the flap-driving mechanism classified as an active vibration reduction method, in order to reduce vibratory load in the helicopter. In detail, the previous Active Trailing-Edge Flap based on piezoelectric actuator, called SNUF(Seoul National University Flap), failed to achieve the target value (${\pm}4^{\circ}$) of the flap deflection angle. Therefore, the flap-driving mechanism design was improved, and a new piezoactuator was selected to accomplish the target value of the flap deflection angle in both static and rotating situations.

Attitude command response type required for enhanced handling qualities of helicopter can be implemented by mechanical automatic flight control system with SAS actuators which have limited authorities. However, the early saturation of SAS actuator hinders the helicopter from following the attitude command for large stick command. Auto-trim controller can delay SAS actuator's saturation by utilizing trim actuators and allows the attitude command response type for larger stick command. This paper describes the control law for limited authority system of helicopter with auto-trim. Limited authority system is applied to BO-105 linear dynamic model and simulation is performed along with handling quality analysis.

This paper presents the procedure and the results of the preliminary design of the fuel tank as a part of developing the helicopter. For the requirements of operational capability, MIL-DTL-27422D and Defence Standard 15-2/Issue 1 are considered to be applied in developing a helicopter fuel tank. The procedure of the fuel tank development is set up including interface plate design, tank design, former design, tank material lay-up, and tank installation assessment. The outer moulded line and fittings of fuel tank have being designed, and several test will be performed to get the qualification.

Crashworthiness design concept in the helicopter development is still under evolutionary stage. Survivability in the event of a crash was remarkably improved and this fact can be recognized by the analysis results on the AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk crash accidents. Those two models are the first ones in which the crashworthiness design concept was applied with a full-scale requirement. Here we need to notice that under-design of the system results in unexpected injuries and deaths while over-design of the crashworthy elements result in unnecessary weight and costs. If landing gear system would be verified to have enough energy absorption capability in the specified vertical velocity interval, then design requirements of the airframe, fuel system and seats could be modified positively. In this paper, the right and systematic crashworthiness design concept is reviewed on the assumption that design requirements of some crashworthy elements could be partially tailored.

Since the flight-control system is critical for the safety of an aircraft, a fail-safe system is needed in a flight demonstrator used to test a new flight-control system. A backup control system is also needed to ensure safety in using a mechanical flight-control system. This paper presents a development of an MFCS (Mechanical Flight Control System) model for simulating control authority switching of a helicopter technical demonstrator, as well as the results of evaluating the developed MFCS model.

In this paper, we propose two design methods of neural networks controller for the height control of helicopter, one is the design of neural network controller having learning capability and the other is the design of more improved neural network controller. Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed controllers have controllers have enhanced control performance(rapid response, effectiveness and safety) than the typical neural networks controller in the height control of helicopter.
