In this paper, we classified a flight pattern of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) which will be operating in UTM system and analyzed its flight pattern by purpose of use. Flight patterns of UAV are sorted into three patterns which are circling, monitoring and delivery. We considered four cases of industry areas using UAV which are agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, public safety & security(p.s.s) and delivery. It is necessary to build a simulation model as a verification tool for applying the flight pattern according to the use of UAV to the real UTM system. Therefore, we propose the simulation model of UAV with updating states over time. We applied simulation to UAV monitoring flight pattern, and confirmed that the flight was done by the given input data. The simulation model will be used in the future to verify that the UAV has various flight patterns and can operate safely and efficiently for the intended use.

Modern versions of supersonic jet fighter aircraft using a digital flight-by-wire flight control system design utilizes a control surface reconfiguration in order to guarantee the aircraft flight stability when a control surface is failed. The T-50 flight control laws are designed such that the surface reconfiguration mode controls the aircraft using non-failed control surfaces when one of the control surfaces is failed. In this paper, linear analysis and HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) pilot simulations are performed to analyze the flight stability and handling quality when the surface reconfiguration mode is engaged for aircraft landing configuration. It is found that the aircraft flight stability and handling quality is satisfied to level 1 requirements when the T-50 flight control law is changed to the surface reconfiguration mode.

The flight characteristics of 11 cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) were analyzed by a global positioning system (GPS) tracker(WT-300; KoEco, Inc.). The wintering period in Korea averaged 131 days (SD=17.4) and the average flight rate was 19.6%. The flight altitude was below 100 m for 21.6% of the flight, 101-200 m for 25.3%, 201-300 m for 19.0%, and below 300 m for 65.9%. There was a positive correlation (r=0.929) between the hourly flight rate and altitude. The predominant monthly flight altitude was 101-200 m (p<0.05). The wintering cinereous vultures lowered their flight rate and flew at an altitude of less than 300 m. This is thought to be an efficient way to find food through social interaction.

This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated system scheme for a UAV and presents experimental flight test results. The proposed system is designed as a part of an autopilot system and comprises a GPS attitude determination receiver, an off-the-shelf inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a navigation computer unit (NCU). UAV requires accurate attitude information for stable automatic flight control. The proposed system can provide accurate attitude information for the flight control computer (FCC) so that stable automatic flight control can be achieved. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, an integrated navigation system has been developed. In order to evaluate the developed navigation system, the flight test has been performed. In the flight test, the developed system was shown to provide the position, the velocity and the attitude satisfactorily enough for stable flight control. The accuracy of the attitude information of the developed system was confirmed by comparing attitude of vertical gyro.

This paper presents a new in-flight alignment method for an SDINS under large initial heading error. To handle large heading error, a new attitude error model is introduced. The attitude errors are divided into heading error and leveling errors using a newly defined horizontal frame. Some navigation error dynamic models are derived from the attitude error model for indirect feedback filtering of the in-flight alignment system. A Kalman filter with Position measurement is designed to estimate navigation errors as the indirect feedback filter Simulation results show that the proposed in-flight alignment method reduces the heading error very quickly from more than 40deg to about 5deg so as to apply a refined navigation filter. The total alignment process including leveling mode and navigation mode in addition to the proposed one allows large initial values not only in heading error but also in leveling errors.

Recently, it is exceedingly required to produce metal powders with tailored shape and phase altogether in order to fabricate high performance functional parts such as magnetic core or electro-magnetic noise suppressor for high frequency usage. Therefore, the collision phenomena of in-flight droplets against chamber wall or neighboring in-flight droplets each other is investigated by a computational method in order to get useful information about how to design the atomizing system and how to tailor process parameters not to make irregular-shaped powders during gas atomization process. As a results, smaller powders, lower melt temperature are known to be favorable for droplets not to collide against chamber wall. In additions, powders of narrower size distribution range, lower droplet generation rate, lower melt temperature, lower gas velocity are desirable to prevent droplet-collisions against neighboring in-flight droplets.

The purpose of this study is to provide in-flight security in situations where aviation security is constantly threatened by the increase in illegal interference in aircraft and the threat of terrorism that still exists. It is to identify legal operational problems such as education and qualification of the original system and to propose improvement measures. To this end, the need for revision based on relevant laws and guidelines such as "Operation Guidelines for In-Flight Security Officers" is to be discussed based on international standards such as ICAO and Federal Air Marshal. The research method was based on interviews with SEMs such as cabin managers, which focused on ensuring the legal status of In-Flight Security Officer, establishing relationships with captains, and improving education and training.

Developments in aircraft require safety verification through flight testing for many hours with prototype design and production. The test evaluation step of performing flight tests was an important process that determines the success in the development of the system. In particular, safety development through flight tests in the armed flight test is important for the development of attack helicopters. In the development of attack helicopters, the evaluation period and cost related to the armed flight test are closely related to the required ammunition requirement. Therefore, this paper presents the amount of ammunition required for the military flight test between attack helicopter developments through an analysis of the AH-1 helicopter in a similar case and ADS-44-HDBK of military specification. The AH-1 can be used to calculate the ammunition demand by considering the exclusion of redundant firing tests and configuration differences. In the case of the machine gun-equipped configuration, approximately 10,500R was required, and approximately 324R was required in the case of a rocket-mounted configuration. In addition, if the armed integrated bench is used properly, it is expected to promote efficiently the flight test in the armed flight by identifying the possible risk factors with armed flight tests and excluding them.

From the beginning of aviation history, in-flight smoke/fire events have been a serious issue. As aircraft are getting larger and are becoming more auto-piloted and aircraft systems are getting more complex, it is an increasing risk of in-flight smoke/fire accidents accompanied with fire events. Therefore, we review the statistics of fire/smoke accidents in order to enhance an understanding for risk of in-flight smoke events, and present the certification requirements for smoke per KAS Part 25. In addition, we provide acceptable methods of complying with related requirements, such as smoke detection test, smoke penetration test and smoke evacuation test.

Time-of-flight(ToF) cameras deliver intensity data as well as range information of the objects of the scene. However, systematic problems during the acquisition lead to distorted values in both distance and amplitude. In this paper we propose a method to acquire reliable distance information over the entire scene correcting each information based on the other data. The amplitude image is enhanced based on the depth values and this leads depth correction especially for far pixels.
