This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the optimization of Flight Management Systems (FMS) with a particular emphasis on data processing efficiency by conducting a comparative study with conventional methods to edge-computing technology. The objective of this research is twofold. Firstly, it evaluates the performance of FMS navigation systems using conventional and edge computing methodologies. Secondly, it aims to extend the boundaries of knowledge in edge-computing technology by conducting a rigorous analysis of terrain data and its implications on flight path optimization along with communication with ground stations. The study employs a combination of simulation-based experimentation and algorithmic computations. Through strategic intervals along the flight path, critical parameters such as distance, altitude profiles, and flight path angles are dynamically assessed. Additionally, edge computing techniques enhance data processing speeds, ensuring adaptability to various scenarios. This paper challenges existing paradigms in flight management and opens avenues for further research in integrating edge computing within aviation technology. The findings presented herein carry significant implications for the aviation industry, ranging from improved operational efficiency to heightened safety measures.

In Underwater Flight Vehicle depth control system, the followings must be required. First, It needs a robust performance which can get over the nonlinear characteristics due to hull shape. Second, It needs an accurate performance which has the small overshoot phenomenon and steady state error to avoid colliding with ground surface and obstacles. Third, It needs a continuous control input to reduce the acoustic noise. Finally, It needs an effective interpolation method which can reduce the dependency of control parameters on speed. To solve these problems, we propose a Intelligence depth control method using Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller and Neural Network Interpolator. Simulation results show the proposed control scheme has robust and accurate performance by continuous control input and has no speed dependency problem.

In this paper we deal with a design of CCV adaptive flight control system having adaptive observer under the mircroburst circumstances. First, based on the observerbility indices of the controlled system, which is a general multi-variable one, the adaptive observer is constructed, and the unknown interactor matrix can be estimated by using the identified parameters. Next, CCV adaptive flight control law is calculated based upon the estimated ones. Finally, the proposed CCV adaptive flight controller is applied to STOL flying boat and numerical simulations under the microburst circumstances can be show to justify the proposed scheme.

In Underwater Flight Vehicle depth control system, the followings must be required. First, it needs robust performance which can get over modeling error, parameter variation and disturbance. Second, it needs accurate performance which have small overshoot phenomenon and steady state error to avoid colliding with ground surface or obstacles. Third, it needs continuous control input to reduce the acoustic noise and propulsion energy consumption. Finally, it needs interpolation method which can sole the speed dependency problem of controller parameters. To solve these problems, we propose a depth control method using Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller with feedforward control-plane bias term and Neural Network Interpolator. Simulation results show the proposed method has robust and accurate control performance by the continuous control input and has no speed dependency problem.

In order to predict droplet velocity and temperature profiles and fractional solidification with flight distance during spray forming, the Newtonian heat transfer formulation has been coupled with the classical heterogeneous nucleation and the specific solidification process. It has been demonstrated that the thermal profile of the droplet in flight is significantly affected by process parameters such as droplet size, initial gas velocity, undercooling. As the droplet size and/or the initial gas velocity increase, the onset and completion of solidification are shifted to greater flight distances and the solidification process also extends over a wider range of flight distances. The amounts of solid fractions formed during recoalescence, segregated solidification and eutectic solidification are insensitive to droplet size and initial gas velocity whereas those are strongly affected by the degree of undercooling. There are good linear relations between the undercooling and the corresponding solid fractions generated during recoalesced, segregated and eutectic stages.

An altitude chamber, also known as a hypobaric chamber, is a device used during aerospace or high terrestrial altitude research or training to simulate the effects of high altitude on the human body. Although data from altitude chamber researches using experimental animals have been accumulated, studies in the humans exposed to hypobaric conditions are seldomly reported. Despite the importance of altitude chamber flight training in the field of aviation physiology, the hematological analysis of post-flight physiological changes has rarely been performed. The aims of the present study were to investigate the alterations in blood components during altitude chamber flight and to determine whether the differences between pre- and post-flight values are significant. Sixty experienced pilots in the Republic of Korea Air Force were enrolled in the altitude chamber flight training. Venous blood samples were obtained before and immediately after the flight. Compared with the pre-flight values($6.32{\times}10^3/mm^3$, $5.02{\times}10^6/mm^3$, 15.61 g/dL, respectively), white blood cell count, red blood cell count and hemoglobin level were significantly increased after the flight($6.77{\times}10^3/mm^3$, $5.44{\times}10^6/mm^3$, 16.26 g/dL; p=0.006, p=0.012, p<0.001, respectively). These alterations may be attributable to the exposure to hypobaric hypoxia, 100% oxygen supply for denitrogenation, considerable rise and fall in altitude and psychophysical stress due to these factors. In further studies, experimental groups and methods should be individualized to ensure objectivity and diversification. In addition, multiple time-frame analyses regarding the changing pattern of each blood component are also required to elucidate the physiological process for adapting to the high terrestrial altitude exposure.

본 논문에서는 비행체의 운동 역학을 고려한 경로 추종을 위한 시선각 유도 법칙의 유도 게인 설계 기법에 대해 기술하였다. 비례-미분 게인과 접근 거리의 설계 변수로 구성된 시선각 기반 유도 법칙은 유도 게인 결정시 대부분 경험적 또는 실험적인 방법으로 설계하는 것이 일반적인데 이러한 경우 정밀하고 일관적인 경로 추종 성능 보장이 어렵고 비행체 기동 한계 및 운용 속도 등에 따라 설계 변수를 재설계해야하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 비행체의 속도에 따른 운동 역학을 고려하여 설계 변수의 개수를 최소화하고 비행 속도에 따라 유도 법칙 게인이 변화되어 정밀한 경로 추종이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 안정적이고 일관된 성능을 갖는 유도 법칙의 게인 설정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 비행체의 자세에 대한 1차 응답 속도를 고려한 비선형 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 추종 성능을 평가하였으며 선형 경로와 원형 경로에 대한 비행 시험 을 통해 추종 성능 및 알고리듬의 타당성을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

A digital adaptive flight control system is presented for a Japanese automatic landing flight experiment vehicle (ALFLEX). In previous adaptive control systems based on a linear-parameter-varying (LPV) form, the output behavior was excellent, while the behavior of the adjusted parameters was unsatisfactory. In the present study, to obtain a more appropriate parameter adjustment law, the relationship between the coefficient matrices in a continuous-time state equation and the coefficients of a pulse transfer function in a discrete system for conventional aircraft is investigated. As a result, it is revealed that the coefficients of the numerator can be treated as a linear function of dynamic pressure (linear-parameter-varying: LPV), while the coefficients of the denominator can be treated as constant (linear-time-invariant: LTI). From the above analysis, an improved parameter adjustment law is derived by reducing the number of the adjustment parameters. Simulation results also revealed both good output tracking and good parameter adjustment compared with the previous results.

This paper presents an integrated roll-pitch-yaw autopilot using an equivalent based sliding mode control for skid-to-turn nonlinear time-varying missile system with lumped disturbances in its six-equations of motion. The considered missile model are developed to integrate the model uncertainties, external disturbances, and parameters perturbation as lumped disturbances. Moreover, it considers the coupling effect between channels, the variation of missile velocity and parameters, and the aerodynamics nonlinearity. The presented approach is employed to achieve a good tracking performance with robustness in all missile channels simultaneously during the entire flight envelope without demand of accurate modeling or output derivative to avoid the noise existence in the real missile system. The proposed autopilot consisting of a two-loop structure, controls pitch and yaw accelerations, and stabilizes the roll angle simultaneously. The Closed loop stability is studied. Numerical simulation is provided to evaluate performance of the suggested autopilot and to compare it with an existing autopilot in the literature concerning the robustness against the lumped disturbances, and the aforesaid considerations. Finally, the proposed autopilot is integrated in a six degree of freedom flight simulation model to evaluate it with several target scenarios, and the results are shown.
