This paper describes an approach for synthesizing a Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) that combines the benefits of fuzzy logic control and fuzzy logic gain scheduling for the F/A-18 aircraft. Specially, fuzzy rules are utilized on-line to determine the denoralization factor(Κ) of a feedback fuzzy controller based on the dynamic pressure(Q) indicateing the region of the flight envelop the aircraft is operating in. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FLC provides excellent compensation for time-varying and/or nonlinear characteristics of the aircraft, and that it also exhibits satisfactory robustness with noisy air data sensors.

This paper presents the control law of Automatic Rudder Trim System(ARTS) for the KTX-1. The proposed ARTS is designed mainly t reduce the pilot's work load for trimming in the various conditiions of engine torque. airspeed, and aircraft configuration. The ARTS partially compensates the transient yawing motion due to change of engine power in turboprop aircraft because of the limitation of the actuation speed of the trim motor. In this paper flight test data are analyzed to understand the phenomena and the dynamics of the reversible rudder flight control system is derived. Finally, the control concept and conrtol law of ARTS are described and the characteristics of the ARTS are analyzed through simulation study.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are remotely piloted or self-piloted aircraft by inputted program in advance or artificial intelligence. In this study Aileron and Elevator are used to control the movement of airplane for horizontal and vertical flights about its longitudinal and lateral axis. In an introduction, the drone was linearly modeled by extracting aerodynamic parameter through flight test and simulation, lift and drag coefficient corresponding to angle of attack, changes of pitching moment coefficient. In the main subject, the flight simulation was performed after constructing hardware using TMS320F2812 from TI company and PID with lateral and longitudinal controller for horizontal and vertical flights. Flying characteristics of two system were estimated and compared through real flight test with hardware equipped algorithm and adaptive algorithm that was applied to consider external factors such as turbulence. In conclusion the control performance of the controller with proposed algorithm was streamlined at lateral and longitudinal controller respectively, we will discuss guidance command to pass way point.

A primary benefit of flight at high angle-of-attack conditions is to be able to reduce the speed of flight and maneuvers, which can enhance the capability of sensing and obstacle avoidance for a small UAV. The flight at high angle-of-attack conditions, however, is easy to be beyond stall which is characterized by substantial flow separation over an airfoil. Current numerical analysis was conducted on the capabilities of three representative turbulence models to predict the aerodynamic characteristics of a typical airfoil at angle-of-attack conditions. The investigation shows that these turbulence models provide good comparison with experimental data for attached flow at moderate angle-of-attack conditions. Calculation by current turbulence models are, however, not appropriate at high angle-of-attack conditions with flow separation.

Screw conveyors are used extensively in industrial for conveying and elevating materials. Despite their apparent simplicity, the mechanics of the conveying action is very complex. so many engineers depend on experiential data. Capacities of screw are pumping, steady flow of polymer melts, steady volumetric throughput etc. they are affected by geometry of screw, heat flux, pressure on inside barrel, rotating velocity, friction coefficient at screw surface etc. by computation volumetric efficiency increases as rotating velocity increases and decreases as friction coefficient increases. also it decreases with short pitch length. and double flight screw is more effective than single flight screw. The temperature of polymer melts by heating pad and injection pressure play a very important role in the injection molding machine. so in this paper we analyze thermal distortion and stress of screw includes pressure and temperature distributions by finite element analysis to understand what design factors influence on volumetric throughput efficiency of the screw and thermo-mechanical characteristics of screw.

The aim of this study is to investigate critical load, which can influence on flight path of a small slender body rocket, due to external forces such as thrust, drag and weight. The critical load was firstly obtained from Euler column equation, and compared with analysis results using Finite Element Method to evaluate the theoretical critical load.

The flow visualization is conducted in order to investigate an unsteady flight characteristic of a model dragonfly. The flapping wings are analyzed using smoke-wire and high speed camera. The results of this experiment show that three mechanisms and high incidence angle of the wings are responsible for the lift. The leading edge vortex, which is induced by the rapid acceleration of the wing at the beginning of a stroke, causes the lift enhancement. The delayed stall during the stroke and the fast supination and pronation of the wing near the end of each stroke are also responsible for the lift generation.

The Lion Air JT610 accident in Indonesia in October 2018, along with the Ethiopian Airline ET302 accident in March 2019, is an significant aircraft accident that detects defects of the B737MAX aircraft. Shortly after the accident, the FAA prohibited operation of the aircraft. This action has affected the market environment of airlines and aircraft manufacturers around the world. In October 2019, Indonesian Traffic Safety Committee released an accident investigation report for Lion Air JT610, which concluded that the causes of the accident were MCAS design defects, lack of education and training, and errors in the repair process. This paper summarizes the flight control system of the B737MAX aircraft, the causes of the accident based on the final accident investigation report, and provides considerations for aircraft design and retrofit.

In this study, we analyze technical requirements for a 50m unmanned airship order to assure safety in the test flight operation. The 50m class unmanned airship developed by Airship Group in Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI). The 50m class unmanned airship was developed as a scale-down model of 200m class stratosphere unmanned airship. This study reviews specifications and characteristics of 50m class unmanned airship and develops Airworthiness Requirements on the basis of current effective Aviation Act, Airworthiness standards, and relevant international documents. The developed requirements can be applied to the safety assessment of the 200m class stratosphere unmanned airship.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the static and dynamic stability-of the unmanned airship under development ; the target airship's over-all length of hull is 50m and the maximum diameter is 12.5m. For the analysis, the dynamic model of an airship was defined and both the nonlinear and linear dynamic equations of motion were derived. Two different configuration models (KA002Y and KA003Y) of the airship were used for the target model of the static stability analysis and the dynamic stability analysis. From the result of analyses, though the airship is unstable in static stability, dynamic characteristics of the airship can provide the stable dynamic stability. All of the results, airship models and dynamic flight equations will be an important basement and basic information for the next step of developing the automatic flight control system(AFCS) and the stability augmentation system(SAS) for the unmanned airship as well as for the stratospheric airship in the future.
