In this paper, we propose an efficient transmission scheme for flight data. It is important to reduce amount of flight data transmitted effectively for timely transmission in airplane that the safety is very importantly recognized. Thus, this paper shows the improved technique transmitting after compressing flight data by the lossless compression technique. Because the proposed method improves the transmission speed of the flight data effectively. The processing of flight data and handling can be easily performed in the time to be restricted. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves 25% data transfer gain compared to the ARINC 429 based transmission method.

The flight control of the T-50 advanced trainer is conducted by the digital FBW (Flight-by-Wire) control system. The system input data consist of flight conditions such as altitude, airspeed, and angle of attack. And the flight conditions of the aircraft are obtained from IMFP (Integrated Multi-Function Probe). The T-50 aircraft equip three IMFP sensors. To ensure reliability in flight condition data obtained from each IMFP sensor, the mean value of flight conditions is used as the input of the control system. In this study, the effect of an installation angle of IMFP sensors on estimation of flight altitude was investigated by flight test results in the supersonic region.

The response to climate change of international air transport industry might be initiated by ICAO's CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) which will impact on international airlines' flight operation behavior in the future. Though the airlines' efforts to reduce fuel consumption has been a major issue in economics of aviation industry, the improvement of fuel efficiency in flight operation will have additional impact on their profitability by introducing carbon emission cost. The fuel consumption in flight operation will be somewhat influenced by pilots' technical action for maneuvering aircraft during flight operation. This study will investigate pilots' behavior on decision for tactical aircraft control for mission flight. The data will be collected by the survey through sample pilots asking about their intention and perception on fuel savings during flight operations. The data will be analyzed by AHP process and the study will find out the elements and factors influencing pilots' behavior on technical decision of flight and their weights on fuel saving effects.

A novel robot-operating-system-based flight and mission state communication node for X-Plane 11 flight control simulation environments and its simulation results were discussed. Although the proposed communication method requires considerable implementation steps compared with the conventional MATLAB/Simulink-based User Datagram Protocol (UDP) block utilization method, the proposed method enables a direct comparison of cockpit-view images captured during flight with the flight data. This comparison is useful for data acquisition under virtual environments and for the development of flight control systems. The fixed/rotary-wing and ground terrain elements simulated in virtual environments exhibited excellent visualization outputs, which can overcome time and space constraints on flight experiments and validation of missionary algorithms with complex logic.

The number of civil aviation aircraft registered in Korea has continuously increased. Accordingly the accidents accompanying loss of human or economic resources occurred repeatedly. But the analysis of flight data recorded in FDR was not done by ourselves in the accident investigation because of lack of analysis technology. Therefore, this study is performed to secure the safety of civil aviation by establishing systematic analysis ability of Flight Data Recorder. Through this study, download flight data to personal computer, editing interface file to convert from binary data to engineering data, three dimensional graphical analysis and numerical analysis are performed. For the analysis, the flight of B747-400 model aircraft between Narita(Japan) and Gimpo(Korea) was selected.

BITSE is a project of balloon-borne experiments for a next-generation solar coronagraph developed by a collaboration with KASI and NASA. The coronagraph is built to observe the linearly polarized brightness of solar corona with a polarization camera, a filter wheel, and an aperture door. For the observation, the coronagraph is supported by the power distribution unit (PDU), a pointing system WASP (Wallops Arc-Second Pointer), telemetry & telecommand system SIP (Support Instrument Package) which are developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, and Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. The BITSE Command and Data Handling (C&DH) system used a cost-off-the-shelf electronics to process all data sent and received by the coronagraph, including the support system operation by RS232/422, USB3, Ethernet, and digital and analog signals. The flight software is developed using the core Flight System (cFS) which is a reusable software framework and set of reusable software applications which take advantage of a rich heritage of successful space mission of NASA. The flight software can process encoding and decoding data, control the subsystems, and provide observation autonomy. We developed a python-based testing framework to improve software reliability. The flight software development is one of the crucial contributions of KASI and an important milestone for the next project which is developing a solar coronagraph to be installed at International Space Station.

Airspeed and altimeter calibration of Twin Bee was conducted by the flight test. We have adopted system to system method. Flight test data is corrected for instrumented error and position error, and the resultin data was satisfied. Climb Performance flight test also was conducted. But we could not have all data because of limited flight time. The resulted data was satisfied compare with calculated data.

In this paper, two different flight training devices were constructed to verify the effectiveness of a pilot training system based on a Virtual Reality Head Mount Display. VFR Flight Procedure and IFR Flight Procedure were conducted by high level pilots with Commercial Pilot Licence. Flight data and pilot's visual data for each flight procedure were extracted, compared and analyzed with two training systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the training systems based on the VR HMD was demonstrated by assessing the given mission and the flight results.

The objective of this paper is to estimate the aerodynamic derivatives of a single turbo-prop aircraft at a specified flight condition for the best deduction of the dynamic characteristics using modified maximum likelihood estimation method whcih is known to be unbiased, efficient, and consistent. The flight test data necessary to the estimation of aerodynamic derivatives is obtained by implementing the six degree of freedom nonlinear flight simulation to consider the effects of several control input types, control deflection amplitudes, and intensity of turbulence. The simulated data is added with the measurement noise, which is regarded as the actual flight test data.
