  • UAV의 장시간 운용을 위한 다양한 종류의 전력공급 방식과 연료 기술이 등장하고 있다. 현재 시중에 유통되고 있는 50cm 안팎의 회전익 UAV의 경우 주로 재충전이 가능한 2차 전지가 주로 탑재되고 있으며, 완충 시 정지비행(hovering) 기준 보통 30분 내외의 비행시간을 갖는다. 배터리의 용량과 무게는 UAV의 운영시간과 밀접한 관계가 있고 결국 응용의 다양성에 영향을 준다. 운영시간의 다변화를 위한 방안으로 무선충전기술을 UAV에 적용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 방식에 따라 원거리(decoupled) 충전과 근거리(coupled) 충전 방식으로 나뉜다. 본 연구에서는 근거리 충전 방식 중 하나인 자기유도기(무선충전기)를 활용할 때, 충전시스템에 정밀하게 안착(착륙)하여 UAV가 효과적으로 재충전될 수 있도록 QR 코드를 적용하고 이를 인식하고 3D 위치 측위를 통한 UAV의 위치보정 방안을 제안한다.

  • In order to reduce the download around Smart UAV(SUAV) at hovering and transition mode, flow control using synthetic jet has been performed. Many of the complex tilt rotor flow features are captured including wing leading and trailing edge separation, and the large region of separated flow beneath the wing. First, in order to control the trailing edge separation, synthetic jet is located at 30, 95% of flap chord length. The flow control using synthetic jet on flap shows that stall characteristics depending on several mode can be improved through separation vortices resizing. Also, a flap jet and a 0.01c jet which control the separation efficiently are applied at the same time at each test case because controlling the leading edge separation is essential for download reduction. As a result, time averaged download is reduced about 18% comparing with no control case at hovering mode and 48% at transition mode. These research results show that if flow control using leading edge jet and trailing edge jet is used effectively to the SUAV in overall flight mode, flight performance and stability can be improved.

  • Insect flight is adapted to cope with each circumstance by controlling a variety of the parameters of wing motion in nature. Many researchers have struggled to solve the fundamental concept of insect flight, but it has not been solved yet clearly. In this study, to find the most effective flapping wing kinematics, we conducted to analyze CFD data on fixing some of the optimal parameters of wing motion such as stoke amplitude, flip duration and wing rotation type and then controlled the deviation angle by fabricating wing tip motion. Although all patterns have the similar value of lift coefficient and drag coefficient, pattern A(pear-shape type) indicates the highest lift coefficient and pattern H(pear-shape type) has the lowest lift coefficient among four wing tip motions and three deviation angles. This result suggest that the lift and drag coefficient depends on the angle of attack and the deviation angle combined, and it could be explained by delayed stall effect.

  • Integrated tools are developed for the analysis of the aerodynamic performance and aeroacoustics of helicopter rotors. Heli-NK(Helicopter Navier-Stokes & Kirchhoff) code is for hovering and heli-PA(Helicopter Panel & Acoustic analogy) for forward flight. The former showed its ability to predict the hovering efficiency and high-speed impulsive noise level. Thrust calculation, noise levels, and noise directivity patterns are investigated to confirm the availability of the latter. With some proper validation and improvements. these codes will be more useful and practical.

  • Using steady state aerodynamic theories, it has been claimed that insects and birds cannot fly. To make matters worse, insects and birds fly at low Reynolds numbers. Therefore, a recurring theme in the literature is the importance of understanding unsteady aerodynamic effect and how the vortices behave when they separate from the moving surface that created them. In flapping flight, birds and insects can modify wing beat amplitude, stroke angle, wing planform area, angle of attack, and to a lesser extent flapping frequency to optimize the generation of lift force. Some birds are thought to employ two different gaits(a vortex ring gait and a continuous vortex gait) and unsteady aerodynamic effect(Clap and fling, Delayed stall, Wake capture and Rotational Circulation) in flapping flight. Leading edge vortices may produce an increase in lift. The trailing edge vortex could be an important component in gliding flight. Tip vortices in hovering support the body weight of the hummingbirds. Thus, this study investigated how insects and birds generate lift at low Reynolds numbers. This research is written to further that as yet incomplete understanding.

  • Unmanned Helicopter has several abilities such as vertical Take off, hovering, low speed flight at low altitude. Such vehicles are becoming popular in actual applications such as search and rescue, aerial reconnaissance and surveillance. These vehicles also used under risky environments without threatening the life of a pilot. Since a small unmanned helicopter is very sensitive to environmental conditions, it is generally known that the flight control is very difficult problems. The nonlinear adaptive fuzzy controller design procedure and its applications for altitude control of unmanned helicopter were described in the paper. This research was concentrated on describing the design methodologies of altitude controller design for small unmanned helicopter acquiring autonomous take off and vertical movement. The design methodologies and performance of the altitude controller were simulated and verified with an adaptive fuzzy controller. Throughout simulation results, I showed that the proposed adaptive controllers have enhanced control performance such as robustness, effectiveness and safety, in the altitude control of the unmanned helicopter.

  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that have been recently commercialized can largely be divided into fixed-wing aircraft and rotor aircraft by their styles and flight characteristics. Although the fixed-wing aircraft represents higher power efficiency, higher speed, longer flight distance and larger loading weight than the rotor aircraft, they have a disadvantage of requiring a space for take-off and landing. On the other hand, the rotor aircraft can implement vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and represents various flight modes (hovering, steep bank turns and low-speed flights). But they require both precision take-off control and attitude control. In this study, we used a quad-tilt rotor UAV to combine advantages in both the fixed-wing aircraft and the rotor aircraft. The quad-tilt rotor (QTR) system was designed and constructed by adding a tilt device with a servo motor to a general quad-rotor vehicle.

  • 본 연구에서는 정지 비행과 저속 하강 비행하는 회전익기 로터에 대한 소음을 예측하고 실험값과 비교하여 검증하였다. Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings 방정식을 이용한 소음압 예측 프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석 결과의 검증을 위해서 2가지 풍동 시험 결과를 이용하였다. Boeing 360 모델 로터를 이용하여 정지 비행 조건에서의 저차 주파수 대역의 소음압을 검증하였고, HART II 로터를 이용하여 저속 하강 비행 조건의 중간 주파수 대역의 BVI 소음을 검증하였다. 하중 소음을 예측하기 위해서 정지비행 조건에서는 자유후류기법을 통한 공력계수를 이용하였고, 저속 하강 비행 조건에서는 CFD/CSD 연계해석 결과를 이용하였다. 소음해석 결과 저차 주파수 대역의 소음압과 중간 주파수 대역의 BVI 소음압을 비교적 잘 예측하는 것을 확인하였다. BVI 소음압은 FFT 해석을 통하여 소음 방사 지도를 그려 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 시험결과와 비교적 유사하게 예측하는 것을 확인하였다.
