In recent years, scientific community has found renewed interest in hypersonic flight research. These hypersonic vehicles undergo severe aero-thermal environment during their flight regimes. During reentry and hypersonic flight of these vehicles through atmosphere real gas effects come into play. The analysis of such hypersonic flows is critical for proper aero-thermal design of these vehicles. The numerical simulation of hypersonic real gas flows is a very challenging task. The present work emphasizes numerical simulation of hypersonic flows with thermal non-equilibrium. Hyperbolic system of equations with stiff relaxation method are identified in recent literature as a novel method of predicting long time behaviour of systems such as gas at high temperature. In present work, Energy Relaxation Method (ERM) has been considered to simulate the real gas flows. Navier-Stokes equations A numerical scheme Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM) has been selected. Navier-Stokes solver along with relaxation method has been used for the simulation of real flow over a circular cylinder. Pressure distribution and heat flux over the surface of cylinder has been compared with experiment results of Hannemann. Present heat flux results over the cylinder compared well with experiment. Thus, real gas effects in hypersonic flows can be modeled through energy relaxation method.

A numerical analysis for the performance of compound gyroplane in forward flight was performed. TSM(Transient Simulation Method) was used to analyze the performance of autorotating rotor. CFD was conducted for the fuselages to recognize the variation of aerodynamic performance according to flight speed. At given conditions; airspeed, shaft angle and collective pitch, the quasi-static states of autorotation were determined and the variation of rotor performance was observed. Performance analysis results showed that the effect of aerodynamic characteristics in accordance with the shape of fuselage is so important that the streamlined fuselage is essential to fly fast. Forward flight speed limit is dependent on the autorotation performance of rotor.

A Propulsion System of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was composed of the turbojet engine to generate the propulsive exhaust gas, and the duct system including main and rotary ducts, the nozzle subsystem including main and tip jet nozzle for three flight modes such as lift/landing mode, low speed transition flight mode and high speed forward flight mode. Transient simulation performance utilized the ICV (Inter-component volume) method and simulated using the SIMULINK. Transient performance analysis was performed on 3 cases. Fuel flow schedules to accelerate from Idle to maximum rotational speed were divided into the step increase of the most severe case and ramp increase cases to avoid the overshoot of turbine inlet temperature, and variations of thrust and the turbine inlet temperature were investigated in some transient analysis cases.

Modeling and rendering of atmospheric phenomena such as clouds is one of most difficult research themes in the field of computer graphics, mainly due to its complexity, huge volume, ubiquitousness, etc. In this paper, we represent a system for real-time modeling and rendering of clouds, mainly aiming at the computer games and flight simulation applications. Our implementation generates various kinds of clouds including cirrus, stratus, and cumulus, through intuitive real-timeuser interactions. Then, additional details are automatically attached to them, using our own methods based on meta-balls or hierarchical spherical particles. After processing multiple scattering and anisotropic scattering, resulting particles are rendered into billboards, to finally achieve real-time processing.

The flight control law of developed flight control computer(DFLCC) is developed based on operation flight program of advanced trainer aircraft full scale development final configuration. The flight control law design is used common use development tool in GUI(Graphic User Interface) environment. The flight control law transformed to C-Code is reflected in OFP. The OFP is verified by the standardized verification process. But, before standardized verification process, we need preliminary verification process such as similarity of flight control law and reliability of developed HILS. Similarity of flight control law is verified by comparing the aircraft response of advanced trainer aircraft and those of the developed control law. Also, reliability of developed HILS is verified by comparing the aircraft response of HILS and Non-real time simulation result. This paper verifies similarity of developed control law and reliability of HILS environment as comparing aircraft response.

The majority of civil aviation accidents are caused by human factors, and especially for rotary-wing aircraft, accidents often occur in situations where pilots unexpectedly or unintentionally enter into instrument meteorological conditions (IIMC). This research analyzed the error rates of rotary-wing aircraft pilots under low visibility conditions from various angles to gain insights into flight characteristics and to explore measures to reduce accidents in IIMC situations. The occurrence rate of errors by pilots under low visibility conditions was examined using a flight simulator equipped with motion, with 65 pilots participating in the experiment. Flight data obtained through the experiment were used to aggregate and analyze the number of errors under various conditions, such as reductions in flight visibility, the presence or absence of spatial disorientation, and the pilot's qualifications. The analysis revealed peculiarities in flight characteristics under various conditions, and significant differences were found in the rate of error occurrence according to the pilot's qualification level, possession of instrument flight rules (IFR) qualifications, and during different phases of flight. The results of this research are expected to contribute significantly to the prevention of aircraft accidents in IIMC situations by improving pilot education and training programs.

In this paper, we introduce a pilot's scheduling model which is able to maintain and balance their capabilities for each relevant skill level in military helicopter squadron. Flight scheduler has to consider many factors related pilot's flight information and spends a lot of times and efforts for flight planning without scientific process depending on his/her own capability and experience. This model reflected overall characteristics that include pilot's progression by basis monthly and cumulative flight hours, operational recent flight data and quickly find out a pinpoint areas of concern with respect to their mission subjects etc. There also include essential several constraints, such as personnel qualifications, and Army helicopter training policy's constraints such as regulations and guidelines. We presented binary Integer Programming (IP) mathematical formulation for optimization and demonstrated its effectiveness by comparisons of real schedule versus model's solution to several cases experimental scenarios and greedy random simulation model. The model made the schedule in less than 30 minutes, including the data preprocessing process, and the results of the allocation were more equal than the actual one. This makes it possible to reduce the workload of the scheduler and effectively manages the pilot's skills. We expect to set up and improve better flight planning and combat readiness in Korea Army aviation.
