항공기가 적은 동력으로 장시간 체공을 하기 위해서는 높은 양항비(Lift Drag Ratio)와 구조경량화가 요구된다. 일반적으로 고고도 장기체공 비행기에는 가로세로비가 큰 날개가 적용된다. 또한 기체의 주요 구조물에 고강도, 고강성 탄소섬유복합재료를 사용하고, 날개의 표피(Skin)에 박막(Membrane) 소재인 얇은 마일러(Mylar)를 사용된다. 그 결과 날개 구조물이 다른 구조물에 비하여 유연해진다. 그리고 박막 소재인 얇은 마일러의 강성이 동적 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 갭(Gap) 요소를 사용하여 마일러의 박막 특성을 모사하였다. 그리고 비선형해석 결과를 이용하여 등가강성을 갖는 선형 쉘(Shell) 요소로 등가모델링 하는 방법을 제시하였다. 선형 등가 쉘 모델은 멤브레인 요소법를 이용한 비선형해석 결과와 비교하여 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 제안된 선형등가 쉘 모델은 모드 해석에 적용하여 마일러의 기계적 물성이 고유진동수에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

Aeroelastic analysis of an aircraft with a high aspect ratio wing for medium altitude and long endurance capability was attempted in this paper. In order to achieve such an objective, various structural models were adopted. The traditional approach has been based on a one-dimensional Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The structural analysis results of the present beam model were compared with those by the three-dimensional NASTRAN finite element model. In it, a taper ratio of 0.5 was applied; it was comprised of 21 ribs and 3 spars, and included two control surfaces. The relevant unsteady aerodynamic forces were obtained by using ZAERO, which is based on the doublet lattice method that considers flow compressibility. To obtain the unsteady aerodynamic force, the structural mode shapes and natural frequencies were transferred to ZAERO. Two types of unsteady aerodynamic forces were considered. The first was the unsteady aerodynamic forces which were based on the one-dimensional beam shape; the other was based on the three-dimensional FEM model shape. These two types of aerodynamic forces were compared, and applied to the foregoing flutter analysis. The ultimate goal of the present research is to analyze the possible interaction between the rigid-body degrees of freedom and the aeroelastic modes. This will be achieved after the development of a reliable nonlinear beam formulation that would validate the current results as well as enable a thorough investigation of the nonlinearity. Moreover, such analysis will allow for an examination of the above-mentioned interaction between the flight dynamics and aeroelastic modes with the inclusion of the rigid body degrees of freedom.

The lift and drag forces produced by a wing of a given cross-sectional profile are dependent on the wing planform and the angle of attack. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the wing span to the average chord. For conventional fixed wing aircrafts, high aspect ratio wings produce a higher lift to drag ratio than low ones for flight at subsonic speeds. Therefore, high aspect ratio wings are used on aircraft intended for long endurance. However, birds and insects flap their wings to fly in the air and they can change their wing motions. Their wing motions are made up of translation and rotation. Therefore, we tested flapping motions with parameters which affect rotational motion such as the angle of attack and the wing beat frequency. The half elliptic shaped wings were designed with the variation of aspect ratio from 4 to 11. The flapping device was operated in the water to reduce the wing beat frequency according to Reynolds similarity. In this study, the aerodynamic forces, the time-averaged force coefficients and the lift to drag ratio were measured at Reynolds number 15,000 to explore the aerodynamic characteristics with the variation of aspect ratio. The maximum lift coefficient was turned up at AR=8. The mean drag coefficients were almost same values at angle of attack from $10^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$ regardless of aspect ratio, and the mean drag coefficients above angle of attack $50^{\circ}$ were decreased according to the increase of aspect ratio. For flapping motion the maximum mean lift to drag ratio appeared at AR=8.

In this study, the characteristics of main wind direction, vertical temperature and wind speed profile near the Moseulpo airfield for HALE UAV(High Altitude Long Endurance Unmaned Aerial Vehicle) is investigated. The results are summarized as follows, main wind direction is governed by air mass according to season and local wind such as land-sea breeze. The directions of landing and take-off of HALE UAV will be selected as the south-east direction in June ~ August, north-west direction in October ~ March, and south-east direction at daytime in April ~ May, September. Annual variation of temperature at 100 hPa showed that temperature in summer season is lower than winter season. On the other hands, wind speed at 250 hPa in winter season is higher than summer season. The threshold values of temperature and wind speed for HALE UAV flight are $-75^{\circ}C$ and $90ms^{-1}$, which were determined by 5 % frequency value($1.96{\sigma}$), respectively.

Among various applications of the High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), this paper has a focus on the Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizing pseudolite and its improved performance, particularly during the multi-purpose missions. In a multi-purpose mission, the HALE UAV follows a specified flight trajectory for both navigation applications and missions. Some of the representative HALE missions are remote exploration, surveillance, reconnaissance, and communication relay. During these operations, the HALE UAV can also be an additional positioning signal source as it broadcast signals using pseudolite. The pseudolite signal can improve the availability, accuracy, and reliability of the GPS particularly in areas with poor signal reception, such as shadowed regions between tall buildings. The improvement in performance of navigation is validated through simulations of multi-purpose missions of the solar-powered HALE UAV in an urban canyon. The simulation includes UAV trajectory generation at stratosphere and uses actual geographical building data. The results indicate that the pseudolite-equipped HALE UAV has the potential to enhance the performance of the satellite navigation system in navigationally degraded regions even during multi-purpose operations.

한국항공우주연구원(KARI)은 고고도 전기추진 장기체공 무인기(EAV-3)를 개발하고 있는 중 이다. 우선 고고도 상승 기술 시연을 위한 축소형 비행체 EAV-2H를 개발하였고 EAV-2H로 초도 비행시험을 수행한 결과 측풍에 대한 방향 안정성 및 조종성의 향상이 요구되므로 Advanced Aircraft Analysis(AAA)를 이용한 수직 꼬리날개와 방향타의 재설계를 진행하였다. 방향 조종성을 개선하기위해 방향타의 크기를 기존의 평균 방향타 시위대 수직 꼬리날개 시위 $C_r/C_v(%)=30$을 $C_r/C_v(%)=60$로 늘려 EAV-2H가 가지는 측풍에 대한 방향 조종성(${\beta}(deg)=25^{\circ}$, $v_1(m/sec)=3.54$)을 개선하였다. 또한, 측풍에 의해 발생하는 측력(side force)의 영향을 최소화하기위해 EAV-2H의 수직미익 크기를 기존 대비 15% 줄여(최소한의 방향 안정성 확보, $Cn_{\beta}=0.0588rad^{-1}$), $C_{y_{\beta}}$는 15% $C_{y_r}$는 22% 감소시킴으로써 측풍이 EAV-2H에 미치는 영향을 최소화 하였다. 설계된 EAV-2H의 꼬리날개의 성능은 비행 시험을 통해 검증하였고 그 결과를 적용하여 고고도 장기체공 전기추진 무인기(EAV-3)의 꼬리날개를 설계하였다.
