  • The psychological and biochemical stress responses of healthy men and women were measured under the normal situation. Experimental subjects, who were cadets of the Korea Air Force Academy, were selected by the random sampling. Quantitative scaling of the psychological stress was obtained by life stress test(Cheon et al, 2000) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI).(omitted)

  • A wind tunnel test for the scaled parachute models was performed to verify aerodynamic characteristics for practical usage of Korean low cost low altitude aerial delivery system. The cruciform shaped cargo parachute models for heavy and light weight were ejected into wind tunnel test section; and the drag forces acting on the models in steady condition were measured in accordance with velocity. Also, the maximum opening forces during inflation were obtained and captured by a high speed camera to analyze the inflation characteristics and evaluate the design of the low cost aerial delivery system. The results showed a reliable stability and met the design requirement of delivery operation system for R.O.K Air Force.

  • 조류충돌(Bird Strike)은 경제적 손실, 인명적 피해를 야기하여 공군의 항공작전을 제한하는 위협요소이다. 현 공군에서는 조수퇴치조(Bird Alert Team)의 경보 발령에 의존하거나 조류의 행동을 연구하는 등 인적 역량에 의존하는 시스템을 채택하고 있다. 본 연구는 CNN을 이용하여 활주로의 유해조류를 인식 및 분류하는 자동화 시스템에 대한 제안이다. 웹캠을 활용한 실시간 유해조류를 인식하는 연구를 통해 향후 운항관제대와의 연계, 지향성 조류퇴치 장비와의 연동 방안을 제시하여 공군의 조수퇴치조(Bird Alert Team)에 대한 자동화를 실현하고 공군에서 추진중인 스마트 비행단에 이바지하고자 한다.

  • The repetitive vibrating action of an aerodynamic load causes an external fuel tank's horizontal fin to experience a shorter life cycle than its originally predicted one. Store separation analysis is needed to redesign the fin of an external fuel tank. In this research, free-drop tests were conducted using 15% scaled models in a subsonic wind tunnel in order to analyze the store separation characteristics of an external fuel tank. The store separation trajectory based on grid tests was also obtained to verify the results of the free-drop tests. The results acquired from the free-drop tests correlated well with the grid tests in regards to the trajectories and behavior of the stores separated from the aircraft. This agreement was especially noted in the early stages of the store separation.

  • The prediction of the separation trajectories of external stores released from a military aircraft is an important task in the aircraft design area having the objective to define the operational and release envelopes. This paper presents the results obtained for store separation by employing commercial softwares, FLUENT and CFD-FASTRAN. FLUENT treats the rigid body motion by employing a remeshing scheme. CFD-FASTRAN uses Chimera(overset) grid and interpolations. It was found that, for the prediction of the trajectories and behavior of the stores separated from the wing, both codes show the good agreement with the experimental results.

  • Noise is a major cause of hearing loss in the air base. There are lots of risk factors of hearing loss including noise, and hearing loss can be accelerated by combined effects of these risk factors. Here in, we reviewed risk factors of hearing loss, and analysed key risk factors inducing hearing loss in the air base. Risk factors exacerbating hearing loss with noise were mainly investigated in this research because noise could not be an avoidable risk factor in the air base. Analysed data will contribute to make green environment minimizing hearing loss of pilots and supporting personnels in the air base.

  • The CanSat was designed as an educational satellite simulation program that implements the overall system of the satellite such as the command processing unit, the communication unit, and the power unit in a structure of the size of a can. In particular, the training effect is very excellent because the trainee can learn a process similar to the actual satellite development process by designing, manufacturing, testing, and launching. Republic of Korea Air Force Academy has been using the CanSat production kit used by the domestic can satellite contest experience department for education, but since it was produced based on PCB, it was impossible to show creativity and operation was restricted even with small mistakes. In this paper, we analyze the existing CanSat kit and propose a new educational CanSat kit that can be used in creative engineering design and practice subjects that will be reorganized into a regular course from 2021, and a lesson plan. In conclusion, by using the proposed CanSat kit for lectures, it is possible to achieve educational purposes and effects, improve lecture satisfaction, and provide stable instruction.

  • This paper deals with the development of CanSat system, which ejects two maple seed-type autorotating science payloads and collects weather information. The CanSat consists of two autorotating science payloads and a container. The container is equipped with devices for launching science payloads and communication with the ground station, and launches science payloads one by one at different designated altitudes. The science payload consists of a space for loading and a large wing, and rotates to generate lift for slowing down the fall speed. Specifically, after being ejected, it descends at a speed of 20 m/s or less, measures the rotation rate, atmospheric pressure, and temperature, and transmits the measured value to the container at a rate of once per second. The communication system is a master-slave structure, and the science payload transmits all data to the master container, which aggregates both the received data and its own data, and transmits it to the ground station. All telemetry can be checked in real time using the ground station software developed in-house. A simulation was performed in the simulation environment, and the performance of the CanSat system that satisfies the mission requirements was confirmed.
