In a flexible airvehicle, an assessment of the structural coupling levels through analysis and experiments provides structural data for the design of notch filters which are generally utilized in the flight control system to attenuate the flexible response pickup. This is necessitated as during flight, closed loop control actuation driven with flexible response inputs could lead to stability and performance related problems. In the present work, critical parameters influencing servoelastic response have been identified. A sensitivity study has been carried out to assess the extent of influence of each parameter. A multi-parameter tuning approach has been implemented to achieve an enhanced analytical model for improved predictions of aircraft servoelastic response. To illustrate the model updation approach, initial and improved test analysis correlation of lateral servoelastic responses for a generic flexible airvehicle are presented.

비행체 점검장비는 기본적으로 항공기 임무수행을 위해 비행 전/후 탑재장비의 정상유무와 상태를 점검하기 위한 장비이다. 본 논문에서는 비행체 점검장비 내 무인항공기 운용 지원을 위한 기능을 식별, 설계 및 구현하고, 최초로 비행체 점검장비의 무인항공기 운용을 위한 추가적인 활용 방안을 제시한다. 제안하는 비행체 점검장비는 항공기의 임무 계획에 따라 변화하는 임무 및 영상 탑재장비의 초기설정 및 주요 정보를 통제하고, 주요 장비의 장착 및 위치보정 을 별도 지상 운용 장비 없이 수행할 수 있다. 또한 임무 간 비상상황 발생 시 착륙 후 이를 확인할 수 있는 영상 및 고장이력 역시 비행체 점검장비를 통하여 손쉽게 다운로딩 할 수 있다. 향후 타 무인기 체계 개발 시 본 논문에서 제시한 비행체 점검장비의 운용 지원 설계 방안을 적용하면 다수의 지상 운용 지원장비를 대체하여 추가적인 설계비용 및 운용 인력을 줄이고 항공기 정비사의 편의성을 획기적으로 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this study, we proposed a water rocket CULV-1 (Chosun University Launch Vehicle-1). Unlike a conventional water rocket, CULV-1 can perform the booster rocket, fairing, and payload separation like an actual launch vehicle and also the imaging data acquisition. The conceptual and critical design of the proposed CULV-1 have been performed considering the operation characteristics. The verification tests have been performed from subsystem to system level in accordance with the established test specifications and verification procedures. Through the final launch test of the flight model, we have verified the design effectiveness of the proposed separation mechanisms for water rocket applications and the mission requirements of the CULV-1 also have been complied.

Mission Equipment Package(MEP) system is a collection of avionic components that are integrated to perform the mission of the Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH). MEP system development is classified mission-critical embedded system but KUH MEP system developed including flight-critical data implementation. It is important to establish the good development and verification process for the successful system development. This paper describe the development and verification process in each phase for the KUH MEP system. MEP system design is verified through the qualification test, system failure test and compatibility test in System Integration Laboratory(SIL).

Air data systems measure airspeed, pressure altitude, angle of attack and angle of sideslip. These measurements are essential for operating flight control laws to ensure safe flights. Since the loss or corruption of air data measurements is considered as catastrophic, a high level of operational reliability needs to be achieved for air data systems. In the case of unmanned air vehicles, failure of any of air data sensors is more critical due to the absence of onboard pilot decision aid. This paper presents design of a dual redundancy air data system and the integration process for an unmanned air vehicle. The proposed dual-redundant architecture is based on two independent air data probes and redundancy management by central processing in two independent flight control computers. Starting from unit testing of single air data sensor, details are provided of system level tests used to meet overall requirements. Test results from system integration demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed process.

Wearing ease is a critical factor when designing special uniforms such as flight pilot's garment and should reflect occupational properties for better performance. This study measured skin surface on 31 areas in seven postures that refer to the pilot's occupational postures as well as made six prediction models including linear mixed model (LMM) for each body part to find the best fit model. Skin surface measured from 3D body scanned images of 11 male pilot participants. There were significantly positive and negative changes in various areas from standing posture (P1) to dynamic postures (P2-P7). Six models were designed in various compositions using stature and chest circumference as fixed effects and subject and posture as random effects. The best models were linear mixed models with one fixed effect (chest circumference or stature, varies with body parts) and two random effects (subject and posture). The results of this study provide reference data to set wearing ease for pilot's garment and suggests a new methodology in this research area, but verifying the effect of diverse independent variables is left for future studies.

이·착륙하는 항공기에서 발생하는 후류의 거동에 대한 연구는 근접 후행 항공기의 비행안정성과 공항의 경제성 등과 관련하여 매우 중요하다. 특히 이착륙 비행단계에서 발생한 와들의 거동 연구는 지면효과가 반드시 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 2차원 스펙트럴법에 와도경계조건 및 이미지법을 적용하여, 지면효과가 고려될 수 있는 수치해법을 도출하였다. 개선된 수치기법을 사용하여 얻은 결과를 참고문헌의 수치해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 특히, 본 연구의 수치해석방법으로 지면근처에서 발생하는 이차와(secondary vortex)의 생성과 박리, 그리고 거동을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 향후 본 연구방법을 확장하여 Stratification, Wind Shear 등 다양한 기상조건이 와의 거동에 미치는 영향을 연구할 계획이다.

항공기는 다양한 임무를 수행함으로써 장기간 운영 시 비행시간 누적으로 인해 피로균열을 발생시킬 수 있다. 주익 구조물에 균열이 발생하면 수명단축 등 여러 문제점들이 발생할 수 있다. 이의 해결을 위해 피로임계위치(Fatigue critical location, FCL)에서의 균열진전 해석이 필요하다. 균열진전 해석을 위해서는 장시간의 응력 스펙트럼이 필요한데 실제 항공기에서 필요한 만큼의 데이터를 얻는 것은 막대한 시간과 비이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 SwRI(South West Research Institute)보고서에 제시되어있는 임무별 단시간 하중배수 자료를 바탕으로 Peak-Valley Cycle Counting 을 진행하여 장시간의 응력 스펙트럼을 산출하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

The positions, attitudes, and internal orientation parameters of three line scanners are critical factors in order to acquire the accurate location of objects on the ground. Based on the assumption that positions and attitudes of the sensors are derived either from direct geo-referencing which of using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), or from indirect geo-referencing which of using Ground Control Points (GCPs), this paper describes on biased effects of Internal Orientation Parameter (IOP) on the ground. The research concentrated on geometrical explanations of effects from different focal length biases on the ground. The Synthetic data was collected by reasonable flight trajectories and attitudes of three line scanners. The result of experiments demonstrated that the focal length bias in case of indirect geo-referencing does not have critical influences on the quality of reconstructed ground space. Also, the relationships between IO parameters and EO parameters were found by the correlation analysis. In fact, the focal length bias in case of the direct geo-referencing caused significant errors on coordinates of reconstructed objects. The RMSE values along the vertical direction and the amount of focal length bias turned out to be almost perfect linear relationship.

Various methods have been developed to predict the flight path of an air-launched weapon to intercept a fast-moving target in the air. However, it is also getting more challenging to predict the optimal firing zone and provide it to a pilot in real-time during engagements for advanced weapons having new complicated guidance and thrust control. In this study, a method is proposed to develop an optimized weapon engagement zone by the SCG (Scaled Conjugate Gradient) algorithm to achieve both accurate and fast estimates and provide an optimized launch display to a pilot during combat engagement. SCG algorithm is fully automated, includes no critical user-dependent parameters, and avoids an exhaustive search used repeatedly to determine the appropriate stage and size of machine learning. Compared with real data, this study showed that the development of a machine learning-based weapon aiming algorithm can provide proper output for optimum weapon launch zones that can be used for operational fighters. This study also established a process to develop one of the critical aircraft-weapon integration software, which can be commonly used for aircraft integration of air-launched weapons.
