Sufficient energy charging during a day is essential for a solar-powered long-endurance aircraft. Variations of flight path that is superior to a basic circle path are sought in this study for more efficient charging. Flight path associated with roll and pitch attitudes are investigated. It seems that the pitch angle can play more important role than the roll angle for the solar charging efficiency. Thus, more energy charging is observed when the entire flight path is tilted toward the direction of the sun.

The ground high/low temperature test objective is to check the normal ground operation of FA-50 aircraft in the extreme ground ambient conditions. The aircraft was exposed in climatic conditions of the basic climatic category according to the MIL-HDBK-310. For verified normal operation in the extreme high temperature, the high temperature test was performed in the hot regional type conditions and accentuated solar radiation heat. This test was performed at the test chamber in ADD where is in Haemi. This paper was described about the test procedure of FA-50 high/low temperature including preparation, testing and results.

한국항공우주연구원에서 개발 중인 중형 전기추진 무인기의 추진시스템에 대하여 하드웨어 통합 패시브 전력제어 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이 추진시스템은 태양전지, 연료전지 및 배터리를 통합하여 전력원으로 사용하는 하이브리드 시스템이다. 연료전지는 I-V 커브를 모사하는 모사기를 제작하여 사용하였으며, 나머지 구성품들은 실제 탑재품들을 사용하였다. 시험 결과 각 전력원들은 요구전력 변화에 대해서 고유의 특성을 보이면서 원활히 동작되며, 안정적으로 운전됨을 확인하였다.

지상 정적 상태에 있는 항공기내 연료온도의 변화가 유한차분식에 의하여 해석되었다. 수정 Dufort-Frankel 기법의 explicit 방법에 의해 수치계산이 수행되었다. 항공기는 지상 정적상태에서 1% hot day 대기조건에 따른 태양의 복사 및 바람의 속도와 함께 반복되는 일일주기의 공기온도에 노출되어 있다고 가정되었다. 항공기는 난류유동장내에 있는 것으로 가정되었다. 항공기 표면과 외부대기사이의 열전달을 계산하기 위하여 Eckert에 의해 제안된 평판위의 난류 열전달계수가 사용되었다. 본 해석에 사용된 지배방정식은 연료에 대한 에너지방정식이다. 본 해석으로부터, 주익탱크의 연료온도가 다른 탱크들 가운데 가장 높게 나타났으며 온도변화율 또한 가장 크게 나타났다. 본 온도해석에 대한 결과는 여러 비행임무에 있어서 항공기내의 연료온도 변화 해석을 위한 초기치로서 사용될 수 있다. 또한, 본 해석방법은 항공기 열에너지 관리시스템의 해석 및 설계에 사용될 수 있다.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is developing an electric-driven HALE UAV in order to secure system and operational technologies since 2010. Based on the flight tests and design experiences of the previously developed electric-driven UAVs, KARI has designed EAV-3, a solar-powered HALE UAV. EAV-3 weighs 53kg, the structure weight is 22kg, and features a flexible wing of 19.5m in span with the aspect ratio of 17.4. Designing the main wing and empennage of the EAV-3 the amount of the bending due to the flexible wing, 404mm at 1-G flight condition based on T-800 composite material, and side wind effects due to low cruise speed, $V_{cr}=6m/sec$, are carefully considered. Also, unlike the general aircraft there is no center of gravity shift during the flight because of the EAV-3 is the solar-electric driven UAV. Thus, static margin cuts down to 28.4% and center of gravity moves back to 31% of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) comparing with the previously designed the EAV-2 and EAV-2H/2H+ to upgrade the flight performance of the EAV-3.

In order to suggest the optimal manufacturing technology of composite wings of solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles, this study compared forming technologies to reduce wing weight for long-endurance flight and to improve the manufacturing process for cost-saving and mass production. It compared the manufacturing time and weight of various composite wing molding technologies, including cocuring, secondary bonding, and manufacturing by balsa. As a result, wing weight was reduced through cocuring methods such as band type composite fiber/tape lamination technology, which enabled prolonged flight duration. In addition, the reduced manufacturing time led to a lower cost, which is a good example of weight lightening for not only small solar-powered UAVs, but also composite aircraft.

에너지 균형조건을 고려하여 중형 태양광 추진 고고도 장기체공 무인기의 다분야 통합 최적설계를 수행하였다. 무인기의 공력 모델로 Vortex Lattice Method (VLM)를 사용하였으며 Cruz가 제안한 중량분석 모델로서 비행체 중량을 추정하였다. 비행체의 세로 정안정성 확보를 위하여 꼬리날개의 부피비를 고정하고 정안정성을 확보할 수 있도록 꼬리날개의 위치를 결정하였다. 태양전지, 축전지, 비행 고도 등 사용가능한 에너지와, 비행체의 필요에너지를 비교하여 24시간 지속비행 가능성을 결정하였다. 태양 입사 에너지는 북위 $36^{\circ}$의 여름을 기준으로 하였으며, 주간비행 중 태양에너지를 이용한 상승비행으로 확보한 위치에너지를 이용하여 야간 비행에 필요한 에너지를 보충하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 무인기의 주요 치수, 중량 분포 최적 설계와 장기체공을 실현할 수 있는 비행전략을 제시하였다.

Aeroelastic phenomena of a wind turbine include stall-induced vibrations and classical flutters. The classical flutter occurs due to coalescence between bending mode and torsion mode. It is typically the aeroelastic instability of an aircraft wing. Different from the classical flutter, the stall-induced vibration is the instability in lead-lag mode due to negative aerodynamic dampings. In the present study, the three degree of freedom aeroelastic model of a wind turbine blade is introduced to characterize and analyze its aeroelastic phenomena. The numerical results show that the aeroelastic stability of flap-lag motion is more unstable than that of flap-pitch motion and the aeroelastic characteristics of lead-lag motion can become unstable as wind speed increases.

For the safety of aircraft, aviation obstacle lights must be attached to the transmission towers in accordance with the governing law. Aviation obstacle lights which consist of solar cells, batteries. xenon lamps and a regulator substituted for aviation obstacle lights using AC power. A xenon lamp has advantage such as high brightness but also has disadvantage like large power consumption which cause lighting system to have many solar cells and batteries. This paper introduces an application of a aviation obstacle light using LED lamp through the economic analysis between LED lamp and xenon lamp.

For the sake of the safety of aircraft, aviation obstacle lights should be installed on the towers of transmission line in accordance with the Aviation Act. At present, the used solar-cell aviation obstacle lights are composed of LED lamp and a regulator, batteries, solar-cells which are divided into four parts. And, the divided four parts are connected by cable. Also, aviation obstacle lights are consisted of 150 LED lamps. therefore, the scale of sollar-cells, batteries and the power consumption of aviation obstacle light is big. For that reason, this paper would introduce the development of the solar-cell type single body LED aviation obstacle using the high brightness LED in order to make aviation obstacle more lightened and small-sized.
