In this paper we propose a platform that is applicable to low altitude remote sensing. Basic idea of the platform is based on the model helicopter. On big difference from the conventional model helicopter is that our platform has four main rotors. Furthermore, vision control strategy is introduced so that operator can use the platform without any specialized intensive knowledge

The combined model following control (MFC)-decoupler system is employed for a full authority fly-by-wire utility helicopter to enhance handling qualities. The MFC, which governs the vehicle to follow the prescribed model, is widely employed for modern helicopters. However, it may not be sufficient as helicopters often suffer significant cross coupling. The coupled responses between control axes of a helicopter increase the pilot's work load and may degrade handling qualities. As the decoupler is introduced to the MFC, the combined MFC-decoupler effectively solves the coupling problems and enhances handling qualities. The proposed system is verified via the handling qualities prediction using the mathematical dynamics model. The analysis results are confirmed through the piloted simulation.

This paper introduces the development procedure of paddle type small-scaled composite rotor blade for helicopter hingeless rotor system. Paddle type composite blade design was done by using CORDAS program developed by KARI and dynamic analysis for hingeless hub with blade is done by using FLIGHTLAB which is commercial software for helicopter comprehensive analysis. The procedure to manufacture complicated shape of paddle type blade tip was developed and composite blades were manufactured after establishing the effective curing method. Through this research, the development technology of composite rotor blade with complex aerodynamic shape were accumulated and these will be applied to the related research field, for example, full size composite blade development, etc.

Closed-loop active twist control of integral helicopter rotor blades is investigated in this paper for reducing hub vibration induced in forward flight. A four-bladed fully articulated integral twist-actuated rotor system has been designed and tested successfully in wind tunnel in open-loop actuation. The integral twist deformation of the blades is generated using active fiber composite actuators embedded in the composite blade construction. An analytical framework is developed to examine integrally twisted helicopter blades and their aeroelastic behavior during different flight conditions. This aeroelastic model stems from a three-dimensional electroelastic beam formulation with geometrical-exactness, and is coupled with finite-state dynamic inflow aerodynamics. A system identification methodology that assumes a linear periodic system is adopted to estimate the harmonic transfer function of the rotor system. A vibration minimizing controller is designed based on this result, which implements a classical disturbance rejection algorithm with some modifications. Using the established analytical framework, the closed-loop controller is numerically simulated and the hub vibratory load reduction capability is demonstrated.

본 논문에서는 농업용 무인헬기를 위한 LiDAR 기반 충돌방지시스템을 제안하고 개발과정을 소개한다. 충돌방지시스템은 장애물 검출 시스템, 매핑 알고리즘, 충돌회피 알고리즘으로 구성된다. LiDAR 기반의 장애물 검출 시스템은 무인헬기에 탑재되어 실시간으로 장애물 정보를 획득하며, 이를 통해 획득한 정보와 무인헬기 자세/위치 정보를 융합하여 충돌위험성이 있는 장애물에 대해 격자 지도 기법을 적용한 매핑을 수행한다. 무인헬기가 장애물에 접근할 시 확보된 지형정보를 기반으로 충돌방지 경고 생성을 위해 종/횡방향 기동을 고려한 충돌방지 알고리즘을 구현하며, 이를 통해 운용자에게 전달해 회피 기동을 수행한다. 구축된 시스템은 무인헬기를 이용해 항공방제 패턴을 모사한 비행시험을 수행하였으며, 비행시험 결과 충돌방지 성능 및 가능성을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the design, analysis and manufacture procedure of the composite blade for hingeless rotor system of unmanned helicopters. Helicopter rotor system is the key structural unit that produces thrust and control forces for intended flight conditions. In this work, a hingeless rotor system is adopted, and base on the design requirements for rotor system, composite blade section design and calculation of material properties were performed. In order to avoid the unstable state such as resonance, vibration characteristics of rotor system were analyzed. Finally, this paper describes simply the forming and manufacture of composite blade.

A model helicopter has more versatile flight capability than the fixed-wing aircraft and it can be used as an unmaned vehicle in hazardous area. A helicopter, similar to other aircrafts, is an unstable, multi-input multi-output nonlinear system exposed to strong disturbance. So it should be controlled by robust control theories that can be applied to multivariable systems. In this study, motion equations of hovering are established, linearized and transformed into a state equation form. Various parameters are measured and calculated in other to obtain the stability derivatives in the state equation. Hovering flight controller is designed using the digital LQG/LTR(Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Loop Transfer Recovery) control theory. The designed controller is tested by the nonlinear simulations and implemented on an IBM-PC/386. Experiments were carried out on a model helicopter attached to the 3-DOF gimbal. The designed controller showed satisfactory hovering capability to maintain the hovering for more than 40 seconds.

A small unmanned helicopter was suggested to replace the conventional spray system. Aerial application using an agricultural helicopter helps precise and timely spraying, and reduces labor intensity and environmental pollution. In this research, a rotor system (SW05) was developed and its lift capability was evaluated. Lift force for the dead weight of the helicopter was obtained at the grip pitch angle of $12^{\circ}$. As the pitch angle increased to $14^{\circ}$ and $16^{\circ}$, the payload increased to 176 N and 216 N, respectively. Compared with SW04 airfoil performance in the total lift, the SW05 airfoil showed nearly the same capacity, but the payload of the SW05 was reduced because of the increased dead weight. A rated flight condition was defined as lifting mean payload of 294 N with the grip pitch angles of $16{\sim}17^{\circ}$ at the rotor rotating speed of 850~950 rpm for the adjusted engine power. The fuel consumption would be 4.8~6.0 L/hr, and the air temperature of cooling fan should be kept below $160^{\circ}C$.

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.
