  • The 30mm anti-aircraft gun has been developed with various types of weapon systems such as protective, protective complex, and wheel-type anti-aircraft artillery. The role of this anti-aircraft gun is an important anti-aircraft weapon in charge of air defense. Anti-aircraft weapons are tasked with defending the airspace from aircraft attacks. In particular, anti-aircraft weapons are organized in combination with mechanized units. And anti-aircraft weapons are prone to attack by enemies because they operate on the front lines of the battlefield. The enemy is expected to attack our troops by covering up or concealing as much as possible in order to increase their viability. Therefore, this study analyzed whether our 30mm anti-aircraft bullets could subdue the enemy in cover. This study analyzed the performance of 30mm anti-aircraft bullets using the M&S technique. For this study, live shooting and simulation method by M&S were used for the experiment. In this study, steel plate and plywood were used for the live shooting experiment. In addition, in the simulation process through M&S, this study used the PRODAS model, AUTODYN model, and Split-x model to analyze the trajectory, penetration, and fragmentation capability of 30mm anti-aircraft bullets. According to the experimental results, it has been proven that 30mm anti-aircraft bullets can destroy enemy armored vehicles. 30mm anti-aircraft bullets succeeded in quickly subduing enemies concealed in general buildings or forests. In this way, it was possible to minimize damage to allies in advance.

  • Recently, the studies of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) has been studied a variety from military aircraft to civilian aircraft and for general hobby activity aircraft. In particular, for small unmanned aircraft research for the ease of turning and hovering and Vertical-Off Take Landing(VTOL), have been studied mainly quadrotor unmanned aircraft is a type suitable for this study of small unmanned aircraft. The studies of these unmanned aircraft is the kinetic analysis requires complex processes, because these support by the aerodynamic forces on the unmanned aircraft study, and the controller design based on these dynamical analysis and experimental model analysis. In this paper, after the implementation of the basic attitude control based on a general PID controller, we propose concept design of the attitude control method on quadrotor attitude control by using the reinforcement learning algorithm of neural networks for non-linear elements not considered in the controller design.

  • The solution of the aircraft wing spar cross-section area optimization problem is obtained by the response surface method. The object function of the problem is wing total weight, design variables are spar cross-section areas, constraints are the conditions that the stresses at the each spar is less than the allowable stress. D-Optimal condition is utilized to obtain the experimental points to construct the response surfaces. D-Optimal experimental points are obtained by the commercial software "Deign-Expert". Response values for the object function and constraints for each experimental point are calculated by the NASTRAN. Response surfaces for object function and constraints are approximated from the response values by the least square method. The optimization solution is obtained by the DOT for the response surfaces of object function and constraints. The optimization results obtained from the response surface are compared with the results obtained by the NASTRAN SOL200.

  • The airborne radiation monitoring has been used in geophysics for more than forty years and now it also has its important role in emergency monitoring. The aircraft background and the cosmic gamma-rays contribute to the measured gamma spectrum on the aircraft board. This adverse effect should be eliminated before the data processing. The paper describes two semiparametric methods to estimate the full spectrum aircraft background and cosmic gamma-ray contribution from spectra measured at altitudes where terrestrial contribution is negligible. The methods only assume to know possible peak positions in spectra and their full width at half maximum, that can be easily obtained e.g. from terrestrial measurement. The methods were applied to real experimental data acquired on Mi-17 and Bell 412 helicopter boards. The IRIS airborne gamma-ray spectrometer, with 4×4 L NaI(Tl) crystals, produced by Pico Envirotec Inc., Canada, was used on helicopters' boards. To obtain valid estimate of the aircraft background and the cosmic contribution, the measurements over sea and large water areas were carried out. However, the satisfactory results over inland were also achieved comparing with those acquired over large water areas.

  • In this study preliminary structural design has been performed to develop an all composite wing box for experimental aircraft(classified in FAR Part 21). Considerations on composite materials and their manufacturing process were taken into account throughout the design phase. Aerodynamic loads were estimated by using Shrenk method(NACA TM No 948) and FAR Part 23 Appendix A. The structural layout has been determined to carry effectively the critical loads and to maximize the benefit of composite structure. Maximum strain failure allowable and first ply failure criteria were applied for the sizing of major structural members. Finally, the designed composite wing box structure is presented in the form of drawings, which include material specifications, stacking sequences and joint design.

  • 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.

  • 소음특성이 서로 다른 군용 항공기 소음과 민간 항공기 소음을 환경부에서 고시한 소음 진동공정시험방법에 의거하여 소음을 측정하고 평가하는데는 개선되어야 할 문제점이 뒤따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 민간 항공기와 군용 항공기의 소음특성으로 조사하고 소음 측정 및 평가방법에 대한 문제점들을 고찰하였다. 연구결과로 부터, 민간 항공기나 군용 항공기의 정확한 소음측정을 위해서는 동특성을 빠름(Fast)으로 설정하여 측정하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 등가 소음도를 측정하여 항공기 소음을 평가하는 방식은 민간 항공기 소음평가시에는 적절하지만, 이를 군용 항공기 소음에 적용하여 평가할 때에는 상당한 오차를 포함하는 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 군용 항공기 이 착륙지점에서의 소음 지속시간이 대부분 30초를 초과하는 것으로 조사되었기 때문에, 군용 항공기 소음평가시에는 지속시간에 대한 보정이 반드시 반영되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This paper presents a first step towards the understanding of water diffusion in RTM textile composite materials for aircraft applications and focuses on the development of experimental and numerical approaches to characterize the diffusion kinetics within the material. The method consists in making samples which are representative of the materials architecture and carrying out gravimetric tests on such samples. Analysis of results with the aid of a diffusion model reconstructing the architecture of the samples helps identifying the diffusion behaviour of the material.

  • This paper presents a structural health monitoring method of aircraft reciprocating engine using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which analyzes vibration expressed by Averaged Normalized Power Spectral Density (ANPSD). Because ANPSD of the rotating shaft is sensitive to the rotating speed, this paper proposes to use a post-processing method of ANPSD is used to reduce the sensitivity. The PCA extracts compressed information from the post-processed ANPSDs and the information means the difference between current and normal cases of the engine. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method to detect abnormal cases of the engine.
