This paper describes a monocular vision-based formation flight technology using two fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles. To measuring relative position and attitude of a leader aircraft, a monocular camera installed in the front of the follower aircraft captures an image of the leader, and position and attitude are measured from the image using the KLT feature point tracker and POSIT algorithm. To verify the feasibility of this vision processing algorithm, a field test was performed using two light sports aircraft, and our experimental results show that the proposed monocular vision-based measurement algorithm is feasible. Performance verification for the proposed formation flight technology was carried out using the X-Plane flight simulator. The formation flight simulation system consists of two PCs playing the role of leader and follower. When the leader flies by the command of user, the follower aircraft tracks the leader by designed guidance and a PI control law, and all the information about leader was measured using monocular vision. This simulation shows that guidance using relative attitude information tracks the leader aircraft better than not using attitude information. This simulation shows absolute average errors for the relative position as follows: X-axis: 2.88 m, Y-axis: 2.09 m, and Z-axis: 0.44 m.

드론의 운항 방식 및 교통환경은 기존의 항공교통이나 지상교통과는 상이하다. 드론의 안전 운항을 위한 교통 관리 체계 정립의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 드론이 비행 중에 조우할 수 있는 위험 상황에 대하여 시뮬레이션에 의거하여 분석하고 대책을 수립하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 드론이 도심 환경에서 운항할 때 건물 사이로 발생하는 외풍에 영향을 받을 수 있으며, 이러한 외풍의 영향성을 예측하고 위험도를 분석하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 외풍 환경에서 비행 임무의 안전도를 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 외풍 조건을 입력할 수 있는 정밀 6자유도 비행 시뮬레이션을 구현하여 비행 임무 수행 중 외풍으로 인한 경로의 이탈, 자세각의 변화 등 그 영향성을 예측하였다. 비행 임무 실패 확률에 대해 정량화하는 방법을 제시하였다.

The flight safety system for the satellite launch vehicles is required in order to minimize the risk due to launch vehicle failure. For prompt and reliable decision of flight termination, the flight safety system usually uses multiple sensors to estimate launch vehicle's flight trajectory. In that case, multiple types of observed tracking data makes it difficult to identify the flight termination condition. Therefore, a fusion tracking filter handling the multiple tracking data is necessary for the flight safety system. This research developed a simulation software for generating multiple types of launch vehicle tracking data, and then processed the data with fusion filters.

The sophisticated mathematical model is required for the design and the database construction of the advanced flight control system of UAV. In this paper, flight test of KARI's research UAV, often called DURUMI-II, is implemented for the data acquisition from the maneuver flight. The flight path reconstruction is implemented to ensure that the measured data is consistent and error free. The nonlinear system identification for the refined mathematical modeling is implemented with the verified measurements from the flight path reconstruction. The simulation with the identified results have a good validation when the simulated responses were compared to the flight tested data.

The main purpose of this study is to obtain linear models for the design of automatic flight controller in order to operate the Light Sport Aircraft as unmanned air vehicle. Flight test equipments installed on the aircraft to acquire flight test data are described and maneuvers for practical speed calibration are introduced. Parameters for the linear models of lateral and longitudinal motion are estimated by the Output error method as well as trim data analysis using the flight test data. Simulated data using the estimated parameters is shown to agree well with the measurement data. Estimated parameters obtained for several flight conditions can be used to improve the aerodynamic database of the simulation program.

This study was conducted with respect to the causal factors revealed through the investigation of the recent airlines aircraft crash accident which occurred while aircraft was on the climb-out or on the final approach. This study also highlighted the importance of flight deviation and exceedance occurrences in consideration of Flight Operational Quality Assurance Program(FOQA). Twenty airline pilots participated in the flight experiment to perform ten(10) sets of simulated approaches and landings. As a result, Twelve(12) kinds of deviation events were discovered. In this respect, The FOQA program must be fully implemented to prevent any flight safety incident under the auspices of the Korea domestic aviation community as well.

An advanced method of Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) is utilized for improving the aerodynamic performance of modem version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The flight control system utilizes RSS criteria in both longitudinal and lateral-directional axes to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. Standard CLDA (Control Law Design and Analysis) process is provided that reduce the development period of the flight control system. In addition, if this process is employed in developing flight control laws, it reduces the trial and error development and verification of control laws. This paper details the design process of developing a flight control law for the RSS aircraft, utilizing military specifications, linear and nonlinea, analysis using XMATH and ATLAS(Aircraft, Tim Linear and Simulation), handling quality tests using the HQS (Handling Quality Simulator), and real flight test results to verify aircraft dynamic flight responses.

This paper presents a neural network based adaptive control approach to a reconfigurable flight control law that keeps handling qualities in the presence of faults or failures to the control surfaces of an aircraft. This approach removes the need for system identification for control reallocation after a failure and the need for an accurate aerodynamic database for flight control design, thereby reducing the cost and time required to develope a reconfigurable flight controller. Neural networks address the problem caused by uncertainties in modeling an aircraft and pseudo control hedging deals with the nonlinearity in actuators and the reconfiguration of a flight controller. The effect of the reconfigurable flight control law is illustrated in results of a nonlinear simulation of an unmanned aerial vehicle Durumi-II.

This paper presents the new in-flight alignment method using the flight distance of vehicle in order to improve the performance of the heading error estimation. In the proposed method, the Kalman filter having the difference between GPS and SDINS position as measurements is used for levelling of SDINS and heading error is estimated utilizing the flight distance information. It is shown in the simulation results that the in-flight method proposed in this paper has the high accuracy in heading error estimation and the heading error can be very quickly estimated at the high speed vehicle, compared with the existing method using the Kalman filter.
