In this report Smart UAV structural analysis of the aft fuselage is presented. Aft fuselage needs to have enough strength and stiffness considering loads of the Vertical and Horizontal Stabilizer together. It has a big hole for the purpose of engine exhaust duct on its side body. In addition, much attention is needed in high temperature region due to material strength deterioration.

In this paper, the real-time prediction of high temperature creep strength and creep strength and creep life for nickel-based superalloy Udimet 720 (high-temperature and high-pressure gas turbine engine materials) was performed on round-bar type specimens under pure load at the temperatures of 538, 649 and 704$^{\circ}C$. The predictive equation of ISM creep has better reliability than that of LMP and LMP-ISM, and its reliability is getting better for long time creep prediction(10$^3$~10sup/5/ｈ).

중형항공기용 터보팬 엔진의 정상상태 및 천이상태 성능을 해석하고 제어기 설계를 위한 선형모델을 구하였다. 정상상태 성능해석은 설계점으로 선정한 지상정지조건과 최대상승조건(Mach=0.78, 고도=36000ft) 및 순항조건(Mach=0.78, 고도=39000ft)을 고려하였으며, 저압압축기의 공회전 상태에서 최대 회전속도까지의 부분부하성능해석을 수행하였다. 부분부하 성능해석 결과 90% RPM 조건에서 가장 연료소모율이 적어 경제적임을 알 수 있다. 동적 성능모사는 각각의 대기조건에서 연료가 Step 증가, Ramp 증가 및 감소, Step 증가 후 Ramp 감소하는 경우에 대해 수행하였다. 모사결과 고려된 모든 조건에서 연료의 Step 증가시 고압압축기의 터빈입구온도가 제한온도를 초과하여, 보다 빠른 가속과 최적의 성능을 위해서는 적절한 제어가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 최대상승조건에서 연료를 Step 증가시킬 경우 고압압축기에서 실속이 발생하여 이에 대한 대책도 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Titanium-6242 $({\alpha}+{\beta})$ alloy has been used for aircraft engine components such as disks and blades, because it has an excellent strength/weight ratio at high temperatures. When this material is forged to manufacture disks, process parameters should be carefully designed to control strain and temperature distributions within the process windows by which desirable mechanical properties can be produced. In the present investigation, it was intended to design the process parameters for a conventional hot forging of this material by using a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element analysis technique. It was assumed that the process was performed by a screw press which is capable of maintaining a constant ram speed during loading. From the analysis results, it was found out that the initial temperature of the workpiece and the die shape were important parameters to control the forging process. In result, these parameters were properly designed for hot forging of a disk with specific dimensions.

This paper covers research on terrain construction for unmanned aerial vehicle simulators using spatial information that was distributed by public institutions. Aerial photography, DEM, vector maps and 3D model data were used in order to create a realistic terrain simulator. A data converting method was suggested while researching, so it was generated to automatically arrange and build city models (vWorld provided) and classification methods so that realistic images could be generated by 3D objects. For example: rivers, forests, roads, fields and so on, were arranged by aerial photographs, vector map (land cover map) and terrain construction based on the tile map used by DEM. In order to verify the terrain data of unmanned aircraft simulators produced by the proposed method, the location accuracy was verified by mounting onto Unreal Engine and checked location accuracy.

This article introduces a formalism for the analysis of airplane trajectories on which the motion is determined by specifying the power of the engines. It explains a procedure to solve the equations of motion to obtain the value of the relevant flight parameters. It then enumerates the constraints that the dynamical abilities of the airplane impose on the amount of fuel used, the speed, the load factor, the lift coefficient, the positivity and upper boundedness of the power available. Examples of analysis are provided to illustrate the method proposed, with rectilinear and circular trajectories. Two very different types of airplanes are used in the examples: a Silver Fox-like small UAV and a common Cessna 182 Skylane.

The aim in this study is to develop the combined EGR system with a non-thermal plasma reactor for reducing exhaust emissions and improving fuel economy in turbo intercooler ECU common-rail diesel engines. At the first step, in this paper, the characteristics of performance and $NO_x{\cdot}THC$ emissions under four kinds of engine loads are experimentally investigated by using a four-cycle, four-cylinder, direct injection type, water-cooled turbo intercooler ECU common-rail diesel engine with a combined plasma exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) system operating at three kinds of engine speeds. The EGR system is used to reduce $NO_x$ emissions, and the non-thermal plasma reactor and turbo intercooler system are used to reduce THC emissions. The plasma system is a flat-to-flat type reactor operated by a plasma power supply. The fuel is sprayed by pilot and main injections at the variable injection timing between BTDC $15^{\circ}$ and ATDC $1^{\circ}$ according to experimental conditions. It is found that the specific fuel consumption rate with EGR is increased, but the fuel economy is better than that of mechanical injection type diesel engine as compared with the same output. Results show that $NO_x$ emissions are decreased, but THC emissions are increased, as the EGR rate is elevated. $NO_x$ and THC emissions are also slightly decreased as the applied electrical voltage of the non-thermal plasma reactor is elevated. Thus one can conclude that the influence of EGR in $NO_x$ and THC emissions is larger than that of the non-thermal plasma reactor, but THC emissions are greatly influenced by the non-thermal plasma reactor as the EGR rate is elevated.

The performance of the turbofan engine, a medium scale civil aircraft which has been developing in Rep. of Korea, was analyzed and the control scheme for optimization the performance was studied. The dynamic and real-time linear simulation was performed in the previous study The result was that the fuel scedule of the step increase overshoot the limit temperature(3105 $^{\cire}R$) of the high pressure turbine and got small surge margine of the high pressure compressor. Therefore a control scheme such as the LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) was applied to optimizing the performance in this studies. The linear model was expected for designing controller and the real time linear model was developed to be closed to nonlinear simulation results. The system matrices were derived from sampling operating points in the scheduled range and then the least square method was applied to the interpolation between these sampling points, where each element of matrices was a function of the rotor speed. The control variables were the fuel flow and the low pressure compressor bleed air. The controlled linear model eliminated the inlet temperature overshoot of the high pressure turbine and obtained maximum surge margins within 0.55. The SFC was stabilized in the range of 0.355 to 0.43.

The purpose of this research was to introduce a network analysis method for analyzing technology trends in the aerospace industry at the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA), one of the world's three major airshows. Civil and defense companies and government and military officials from 112 countries and 1,500 agencies convened at FIA 2018 to share and explore recent trends in the aerospace industry. We studied aerospace technologies from 45 countries, 1,108 exhibiters, and 223 technology categories via centrality analysis. The results from the network analysis showed that machining is the center of aerospace technology. However, there were quite different tendencies, depending on the region and country. The centers of aerospace technology are machining in Europe and the United Kingdom, aircraft components in Asia, and engine components/controls in the United States. In Korea, no one key technology was recognized, due to the country's small attendance. We hope this research will be conducive to aerospace technology-and-research planning, and that it will be an appropriate tool to help domestic manufacturers boost their exports.
