Aerial application using an unmanned agricultural helicopter became necessary for both labor saving and timely spraying. In the previous paper, a rotor system was developed and lift capability was evaluated. The experimental results were compared with simulated predictions using the CFD-ACE program. From the simulation, the relative velocity on the top surface of the blade airfoil increased, resulting in the pressure drop. The CFD analyses were revealed that a drag resistance on the leading edge of the airfoil, a wake at the trailing edge, and a positive pressure underneath the bottom surface were observed. As the results of the simulation, total lifts of 56.8, 74.4 and $95.0kg_f$ were obtained at the 6, 8 and $10^{\circ}$ of AAT (angle of attack), respectively. The simulation results agreed reasonably up to $10^{\circ}$ of AAT. However, at a greater AAT $(<12^{\circ})$ the simulated total lift continuously increased to $105kg_f$, comparing with a decreasing experimental total lift due to the lack of engine power. At a stiff angle of $18^{\circ}$ AAT, a wake was observed at the trailing edge of the airfoil. A rated operating condition determined from the previous paper was also verified through the simulation.

In this study, in the field of remote sensing, where the scope of application is rapidly expanding to fields such as land monitoring, disaster prediction, facility safety inspection, and maintenance of cultural properties, monitoring of rural space and surrounding environment using UAV is utilized. It was carried out to verify the possibility, and the following main results were derived. First, the aerial image taken with an unmanned aerial vehicle had a much higher image size and spatial resolution than the aerial image provided by the National Geographic Information Service. It was suitable for analysis due to its high accuracy. Second, the more the number of photographed photos and the more complex the terrain features, the more the point cloud included in the aerial image taken with the UAV was extracted. As the amount of point cloud increases, accurate 3D mapping is possible, For accurate 3D mapping, it is judged that a point cloud acquisition method for difficult-to-photograph parts in the air is required. Third, 3D mapping technology using point cloud is effective for monitoring rural space and rural resources because it enables observation and comparison of parts that cannot be read from general aerial images. Fourth, the digital elevation model(DEM) produced with aerial image taken with an UAV can visually express the altitude and shape of the topography of the study site, so it can be used as data to predict the effects of topographical changes due to changes in rural space. Therefore, it is possible to utilize various results using the data included in the aerial image taken by the UAV. In this study, the superiority of images acquired by UAV was verified by comparison with existing images, and the effect of 3D mapping on rural space monitoring was visually analyzed. If various types of spatial data such as GIS analysis and topographic map production are collected and utilized using data that can be acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles, it is expected to be used as basic data for rural planning to maintain and preserve the rural environment.

Present chemical application method using a power sprayer has been labor intensive, costly and ineffective. Therefore, a small agricultural unmanned helicopter was suggested to replace the conventional spray system. In this study, conceptual design for developing the helicopter and a consequential prototype were reported. The overall conceptual design was initiated by deciding the type of agricultural helicopter, as the single rotor helicopter with a tail system. As the first step of the designing, an air-cooled, 2-stroke engine was selected and a prototype transmission was designed by determining the rotating speed of main rotor shaft. A 'pusher' type tail rotor system was adapted to balance the reaction torque and reduce the power use. The tail boom length was designed to avoid the rotating trajectory of the main rotor. The RF console consisted of the engine control, attitude control, and emergency control modules. Assembling the prototype concluded the mechanical development of the agricultural helicopter.

Aerial application using an agricultural unmanned helicopter was suggested for an alternative against current pesticide application methods. Centrifugal clutches play important roles in the performance and safety of the helicopter operation. A previous study analyzed and verified the power transfer theory of the guide type centrifugal clutch. Based on the clutch theory, optimal designs of the clutch became possible and feasible using a simulation method. Design criteria of the clutch were the power transfer capacity of 24.66 kW(33.5 PS) at the rated engine speed and the engaging range speed of 3,000${\sim}$3,500 rpm. Various designs were accomplished using the simulation. An optimal clutch was simulated by determining the values of spring constant and mass of friction sector, which were 94,700 N/m and 123.7 g, respectively. The design performed the power capacity of 24.86 kW(33.8 PS) and engagement speed of 3,069 rpm, meeting the design criteria. Using the designed clutch, an efficient transfer of the power would be possible for the unmanned agricultural helicopter.

본 연구는 무인항공기 및 다중분광센서를 이용한 부유쓰레기 탐지 알고리즘을 개발하고자 하였다. 또한 알고리즘을 적용하여 하천의 부유쓰레기 발생 범위를 산정하였다. 부유쓰레기 탐지 구간을 대상으로 무인항공기를 이용한 항공촬영을 통해 면적 계산이 가능한 정사영상을 생성하였으며, 분광조사를 수행하여 하천수, 스티로폼, 초목류 등의 분광학적 특성을 이용한 부유쓰레기 탐지 지수식을 산출하였다. 그리고 산출된 지수식을 이용한 센서의 밴드 조합을 통해 스티로폼을 비롯한 부유쓰레기를 탐지하였다. 탐지 지수식 적용 결과 정사영상 내 총 3지점에서 대량의 부유쓰레기 집적 구간이 확인되었으며, 탐지 대상 면적 중 집적구간을 포함한 3.6%에 해당하는 0.82 ha($8,200m^2$)에서 스티로폼과 초목류를 포함한 대량의 부유쓰레기가 발생한 것으로 추정되었다.

Intertidal zones, akin to tidal flats, are among the potential areas where underwater cultural heritage might be submerged. However, the shallow depths in these regions present challenges for conventional vessel-based survey methods. Moreover, during low tides, intertidal zones transform into tidal flats, limiting the efficiency of survey efforts due to restricted access and potential risks. As a result, proper underwater cultural heritage surveys encounter difficulties in these environments. In recent times, extensive research is underway to address these issues by investigating underwater cultural heritage surveys in intertidal zones, encompassing diverse fields, including equipment-based investigations. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to conduct intertidal cultural heritage surveys, employing aerial photography and 3D mapping to create detailed orthoimages and 3D models. The study focused on assessing the potential application of these techniques for cultural heritage surveying within intertidal zones. Notably, the survey conducted in Jindo's Naesan-ri demonstrated high-resolution capabilities, enabling the distinction of actual pottery fragments mixed within gravel fields. Similarly, in the survey of Jindo's Byeokpa-hang, it was found that a wooden pillar structure existed in a section about 200m long. The integration of various sensors, including LiDAR, with UAVs allows for diverse investigation possibilities, including bathymetric measurements, and is expected to facilitate the acquisition of varied datasets for further research and assessment.

소나무재선충 매개충인 솔수염하늘소 방제용으로 살포되는 농약성분의 산림환경 중 분포, 이동 및 잔류소장 등 행적을 파악하고 방제지역으로부터 수계유출에 대한 평가를 목적으로 acetamiprid 액제와 imidacloprid 분산성 액제에 대한 행적실험을 경상남도 함안군 소재 산림에서 실시하였다. 농약의 살포량은 100배 희석액 50 L/ha이었는데 imidacloprid는 배량 시험을 추가하였고 Bell 206L 헬리콥터로 두 번 살포하였다. Acetamiprid의 평균 지표면 낙하량은 표준살포량의 2~4% 수준이었다. 솔잎 중의 잔류량은 살포 직후에 1.8~8.5 mg/kg이었으나 48일 후에는 1.2~2.1 mg/kg로 감소하였고, 빗물에 씻겨 내린 양은 살포량의 17% 수준이었다. 토양표면에 도달한 acetamiprid의 대부분은 부엽토층에 존재하였으며 살포 48일 후에는 표면도달량의 4분의 1 수준으로 감소하였고, 부엽토 밑 토양에서는 전 기간 동안 검출되지 않았다. Acetamiprid는 인접 소류지에서 비산에 의하여 0.0003 mg/L의 낮은 수준으로 검출된 외에는 검출되지 않았다. Imidacloprid의 평균 지표면 낙하량은 표준살포량의 1~3% 수준이었다. 솔잎 중의 잔류량은 살포 직후에도 0.1 mg/kg 수준에 불과하여 솔잎에는 수분과다 등의 원인으로 거의 부착되지 않은 것으로 판단되었으나, 목질부로부터 빗물에 씻겨 내린 량은 살포량의 4~8% 수준이었다. 토양표면에 도달한 imidacloprid의 대부분도 부엽토층에 존재하였으며 살포 111일 후에는 표면도달량의 20분의 1 수준으로 감소하였고, 부엽토 밑 토양에서는 살포량의 0.5% 미만으로 검출되었다. Imidacloprid는 계곡수에서 0.0003~0.0017 mg/L의 낮은 수준으로 검출되었으나 수계오염을 우려할 수준은 아니었다.
