To augment weakly damped lag mode stability of a hingeless helicopter rotor blade in hover, piezoelectric shunt with a resistor and an inductor circuits for passive damping has been studied. A shunted piezoceramics bonded to a flexure of rotor blade converts mechanical strain energy to electrical charge energy which is dissipated through the resistor in the R-L series shunt circuit. Because the fundamental lag mode frequency of a soft-in-plane hingeless helicopter rotor blade is generally about 0.7/rev, the design frequency of the blade system with flexure sets to be so. Experimentally, the measured lag mode frequency is 0.7227/rev under the short circuit condition. Therefore the suppression mode of this passive damping vibration absorber is adjusted to 0.7227/rev. As a result of damping enhancement using passive control, the passive damper which consists of a piezoelectric material and shunt circuits has a stabilizing effect on inherently weakly damped lag mode of the rotor blades, at the optimum tuning and resistor condition.

From the flight safety and the performance point of views, a new engine installation impacts an helicopter development or upgrade program significantly. More than a close relationship between an aircraft manufacturer and an engine manufacturer is necessary for the best integration work from the program initiation phase. In this paper, technical cooperation between aircraft and engine companies, and technical supports by the engine manufacturer for the T700/701K engine during the Surion development program are summarized. The applications of official technical program documents, US Mil-spec, France airworthiness regulations as the standard of the engine installation work, and engineering activities at each phase such as contract, design and manufacturing, flight clearance, ground and flight tests are described. This paper would be a cornerstone for the future domestic helicopter development program.

This paper presents adaptive fuzzy controller which is uncertainty or unknown variation in different parameters with nonlinear system of helicopter. The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller applied TSK(Takagi-Sugeno-Kang) fuzzy system which is not only low number of fuzzy rule, and a linear input-output equation with a constant term, but also can represent a large class of nonlinear system with good accuracy. The adaptive law was designed by using Lyapunov stability theory. The adaptive fuzzy controller is a model reference adaptive controller which can adjust the parameter $\theta$ so that the plant output tracks the reference model output. First of all, system of helicopter was considered as stopping state, and design of controller was simulated from dynamics equation with stopping state. Results show that it is controlled more successfully with a model reference adaptive controller than with a non-adaptive fuzzy controller when there is a modelling error between system and model or a continuous added noise in such unstable system.

This paper described the performance test and sound characteristics of helicopter 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system. In this research, Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) developed 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system for a helicopter and carried out performance and sound capturing tests of even and uneven tail fans. The performance test is carried out and the noise signals which are generated during the test are saved with microphones at the same time. The performance test's results meet the design requirements. Tone-corrected perceived noise level is reduced by replacing the even product with the uneven one.

R/C helicopter has been used to several fields of military affairs, investigation, searching and toys because it has small size, hovering and vertical take-off characteristics etc. Therefore it needs more realizable control method. The paper introduces simulation and experimental results for control of a helicopter training simulator by self tuning control method. It is assumed that the helicopter is operated at the state of hovering motion and the model is induced. The self tuning control method incorporates the concepts of the well known internal model principle and annihilator polynomial for reference input and disturbance. The controller design is separated into two cases that the plant parameters are known or not. To realize ...

Ducted fans have advantages in noise as well as operational safety aspects compared to conventional tail rotors and are used as an anti-torque system for various classes of helicopters. The final goal of this study is to develop a ducted fan anti-torque system which can replace conventional tail rotors of existing helicopters to achieve safety enhancement and low noise level. In this paper, a conceptual design process and the results are described. Initially, the design requirement and the design parameter characteristics are analysed, and then initial sizing and configuration design are performed. There are several configuration changes due to specific technical reasons in each case. Finally, the required power and the pitch link load are predicted as an initial estimation. The conceptual design technique for the ducted fan in this study can be easily applied to the design of other ducted fans such as the lift fan for unmanned aerial vehicle.

본 연구에서는 산업용 무인 헬리콥터의 자율비행을 위한 일환으로 퍼지 제어기를 이용하여 고도제어를 하였다. 본 논문에서는 가솔린 엔진을 사용하는 전장 3m급의 무인 헬리콥터를 설계하고 이의 재원을 이용하여 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang 형의 퍼지 제어기법으로 고도 제어기를 구성하였다. 목표 고도값과 고도의 오차, 그리고 속도를 이용하여 입력 선형 맴버쉽 함수를 생성하였다. 이렇게 구성된 멤버쉽 함수를 이용 제어입력을 생성하였고, 생성된 제어입력을 이용하여 메인 로터의 피지를 제어하고 그 결과를 이용하여 속도와 고도를 구하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 설계한 퍼지제어기의 고도제어 성능을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서 헬리콥더의 궤적추종을 위한 제어기의 설계 및 평가를 수행하였다. 제어시스템의 알고리즘은 선형 되먹임 기법과 두 단계 시간분리 구조를 이용하여 구성하였다. 또한 헬리콥터 동특성에 대한 정확한 정보의 결핍으로 인한 모델 역변화 오차를 보상하기 위해 신경회로망을 이용한 실시간 적응제어 구조를 자세제어 시스템에 적용하였다. 제어 시스템의 궤적추종성능은 아파치 헬기의 동측성을 나타내는TMAN 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 단순형을 사용하여 평가하였다. 이를 통하여 실시간 신경회로망 적응제어 구조가 동특성 정보의 부족으로 이한 궤도 추종 제어의 성능 저하 문제에 매우 효과적으로 기여함을 보였다.
