날개-동체-카나드 형상 전투기급 항공기 개념설계 기간 동안, 항공기 기동성 증대 방안으로서 카나드-앞전플랩 스케줄링 효과에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 고속 영역에서 카나드-앞전플랩 변위각에 의한 양항특성을 예측하기 위하여 보정된 초음속 패널 방법을 사용하였다. 예측된 양항곡선을 활용하여 카나드-앞전플랩 스케줄링 법칙을 설정하였다. 이러한 카나드-앞전플랩 스케줄 법칙은 양항비를 최대로 하는 카나드-앞전플랩 굽힘과 비행조건과의 관계이다. 카나드-앞전플랩 스케줄링에 의한 결과를 기초로, 제시된 방법은 날개-동체-카나드형상 전투기급 항공기의 기동성을 증대하는데 유용한 것으로 확인되었다.

During the aircraft conceptual design stage, rapid aerodynamic analyses over various configurations are required. Hence, empirical and analytical methods play important roles in predicting the aero-dynamic characteristics. In this study, total drag estimation method based on empirical and analytical approaches is developed. By comparing with the results of the wind tunnel experiment and existing prediction methods, it is demonstrated that the developed method is accurate and useful in predicting total drag for the whole Mach number range.

A low speed wind tunnel test was conducted for full-scale model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) Low Speed Wind Tunnel(LSWT). The purpose of the presented paper is to illustrate the general aerodynamic and performance characteristics of the UAV that was designed and fabricated in KARI. Since the testing conditions were represented minor portions of the load-range of the external balance system, the repeatability tests were performed at various model configurations to confirm the reliability of measurements. Variations of drag-polar by adding model components such as tails, landing gear and test boom are shown, and longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics after changing control surfaces such as aileron, flap, elevator and rudder are also presented. To explore aerodynamic characteristics of an UAV with model components build-up and control surface deflections, lift curve slope, pitching moment variation with lift coefficients and drag-polar are examined. The discussed results might be useful to understand the general aerodynamic characteristics and drag pattern for the given UAV configuration.

연구는 경비행기인 창공-91의 인증 획득을 위한 비행시험의 일부로서 상승성능을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 창공-91은 1993년에 대한민국의 건설교통부로부터 최초로 인증을 취득한 단발엔진을 장착한 일반유형의 5인승 항공기이다. 상승을 위한 비행시험 절차 및 자료는 형식증명을 획득하는데 사용되었다. 톱니형 상승 데이터로부터 양항곡선방법으로 데이터를 처리하여 창공-91의 최대상승률, 최대상승각 속도, 최대상승률 속도, 그리고 절대상승한도를 구하였다. 또한, 상승성능의 결과로부터 양항곡선식을 구함으로써 형상항력계수와 오스왈드 효율계수를 비행기 설계시의 값과 비교하였다.

This study characterizes the coastdown performances of two small electric motors supported on high-speed ball bearings (BBs) and gas foil bearings (GFBs), and it predicts their acceleration performances. The two motors have identical permanent magnetic rotors and mating stators. However, the shaft of the GFBs has a larger mass and polar/transverse moments of inertia than that of the BBs. Motor coastdown tests demonstrate that the rotor speed decreases linearly with the BBs and nonlinearly with the GFBs. A simple model for the BBs predicts a constant drag torque and linear decay of speed with time. The test data validate the model predictions. For the GFBs, the hydrodynamic lubrication model predictions reveal that the drag torque increases linearly with speed, and the speed decreases exponentially with time. The predictions agree very well with the test data in the speed range of 100-30 krpm. The boundary lubrication model predicts a constant drag torque and linear decay of speed with time. The predictions agree well with the test data below 15 krpm. Mixed lubrication occurs in the speed range of 30-15 krpm. Rotor acceleration performances are predicted based on the characteristics of deceleration performances. The GFBs require more time to reach 100,000 krpm than the BBs because of their larger shaft polar moment of inertia. However, predictions for the assumed identical polar moment of inertia reveal that the GFBs have a nearly identical acceleration performance to that of the BBs with a motor torque greater than $0.03N{\cdot}m$.

최근의 유가인상과 관련하여 상업용 및 군용 항공기 운용시의 연료 효율을 높이고자 하는 노력이 가속화되고 있다. 관련 연구에 의하면 수송기와 비즈니스 젯 항공기에 있어서 윙렛은 공력/구조적 효율성을 향상시키고, 적은 중량 증가로 저속 수송기의 상승 성능을 향상시킨다고 보고된 바 있다. 윙렛은 일반적으로 날개 끝에 장착되는 작은 공력면이며, 날개에 수직에 가깝게 장착되어 날개 끝단 와류의 순환 유동장내에서 작용한다. 윙렛의 설계는 위치, 높이, 테이퍼비, 후퇴각, 익형, toe-out 및 켄트각 등 많은 요소를 고려해야 하는 매우 복잡한 과정이다. 최근에는 미국 보잉사의 B737-800과 B787 등의 최신 기종에서 Blended 윙렛을 성공적으로 적용하여 날개끝의 길이를 늘리는 것(Wing Tip Extension) 보다 적은 추가 중량으로 같은 순항 성능을 도출하는데 성공하였다. 윙렛의 점성저항으로 인하여 최소항력은 증가하지만 높은 양력계수에서는 유도항력의 감소로 전체 항력이 감소하게 됨을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 윙렛은 강한 날개끝 와류를 발생시키는 높은 양력계수에서 순항하는 항공기에 더욱 적합하다.

Various flyers in nature have attracted great interests with a recent need for developing versatile and small-size flight vehicles. In the present study, we focus on the flying fish which has been observed to glide a long distance just above a seawater surface. Since previous studies have depended on the field observation or measurement of the physical parameters only, quantitative data of the flying fish flight has not been provided so far. Therefore, we evaluate the wing performance of the flying fish in gliding flight by directly measuring the lift, drag and pitching moment on real flying fish models (Cypselurus hiraii) in a wind tunnel. In addition, we investigate the roles of wing morphology like the enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, and lateral dihedral angle of pectoral fins. With both the pectoral and pelvic fins spread, the lift-to-drag ratio is larger and the longitudinal static stability is enhanced than those with the pelvic fins folded. From the glide polar, we find that the wing performance of flying fish is equivalent to those of medium-size birds like the petrel, hawk and wood duck. Finally, we examine the effect of water surface underneath the flying fish and find that the water surface reduces the drag and increases the lift-to-drag ratio.

In this paper, we study the effect of various turbulence models by comparing the aerodynamic characteristics and the flow patterns computed for aircraft models. An in-house CFD solver, MSAPv, that solves the three dimensional RANS equations with the turbulence model equations is used. The turbulence models used in this study are the Spalart-Allmaras model, Menter's $k-{\omega}$ SST model, Coakley's $q-{\omega}$ model, and Huang and Coakley's $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. DLR-F6 WB and WBNP configurations are selected for the study. We concentrate on the separated flow pattern variations with the turbulence models at the wing-body junction and the wing-pylon junction as well as drag polar curves.

A low speed wind tunnel test for the canard airplane model was conducted in KARI LSWT. To measure the required level of accuracy, the image system was applied for all elevator deflection and different canard incidence conditions. By doing so, the difference in aerodynamic characteristics between the forward swept and straight canards can be precisely evaluated, and the pros and cons of both canards arrangements can be discussed. Compared with both canard configurations at the same incidence angle setting, the straight canard has benefits in lift and drag, and the slope of pitching moment increases more moderately than the forward swept canard. The listed data and discussion would be useful to whom wants to design a canard airplane.

In recent years, nonlinear dynamic models have been developed for flapping-type energy harvesting systems with a rigid wing, but not for those with a flexible wing. Thus, in this study, flexible wing designs of NACA0012 section are proposed and measurements of the forces of rigid cambered wings, which are used to estimate the performance of the designed wings, are conducted. Polar curves from the measured lift and drag coefficients show that JavaFoil estimation is much closer to the measured values than Eppler over the entire given range of angles of attack. As the camber of the rigid cambered wings is increased, both the lift and drag coefficients increase, in turn increasing the resultant forces. Moreover, the maximum resultant forces for all rigid cambered wings are achieved at the same angle of attack as the maximum lift coefficient, meaning that the lift coefficient is dominant in representations of the wing characteristics.
