A modular multidisciplinary analysis and optimization framework has been built with the goal of performing conceptual design of an advanced efficient supersonic air vehicle. This paper addresses the specific challenge of designing this type of aircraft for a long range, supersonic cruise mission with a payload release. The framework includes all the disciplines expected for multidisciplinary supersonic aircraft design, although it also includes disciplines specifically required by an advanced aircraft that is tailless and has embedded engines. Several disciplines have been developed at multifidelity levels. The framework can be readily adapted to the conceptual design of other supersonic aircraft. Favorable results obtained from running the analysis framework for a B-58 supersonic bomber test case are presented as a validation of the methods employed.

The improvements in high performance and agility of modern fighter aircraft have led to improvements in survivability as well. Related to these performance increases are rapid response and adequate deflection of the control surfaces. Most control surface failures result from the failure of the actuator. Therefore, the failure and behavior of the actuators are essential to both combat aircraft survivability and maneuverability. In this study, we investigate the effects of flaperon actuator failure on flight maneuvers of a supersonic aircraft. The flight maneuvers were analyzed using six degrees of freedom (6DOF) simulations. This research will contribute to improvements in the reconfiguration of control surfaces and control allocation in flight control algorithms. This paper compares the results of these 6DOF simulations with the horizontal tail actuator failures analyzed previously.

항공기 개발초기 단계에서 주어진 항공기 임무요구도를 만족하는 최적 설계에 도달하기 위해서는 많은 엔진/기체 조합형상에 대한 적합성평가가 이루어지게 되며, 이를 위해서는 정확한 엔진장착성능을 산정할 수 있는 기법의 확립이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 초음속 항공기 개발초기 단계에서 주어진 엔진/기체 형상에 대한 엔진장착성능을 산정할 수 있는 기법을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 추력 -항력 산정 시스템(Thrust minus drag accounting system)에 의거하여 엔진 장착 추력 구성요소를 설정하고 풍동시험결과를 기초로 한 데이터베이스를 활용하여 이들 요소를 산정하였으며, 산정된 엔진 장착성능 결과를 제시하였다.

During the preliminary design phase of a supersonic aircraft, it is necessary to evaluate many potential engine/airframe combinations to determine the best solution to given set of mission requirements. And it is very important to establish a methodology to predict precisely afterbody drag so that accurate engine installed performance can be estimated. It was carried out in this paper to establish a methodology to predict afterbody drag of F-15K supersonic aircraft based on IMS(Integral Mean Slope) methodology, acquire afterbody drag data and compare its calculated data with the test data acquired from the wind tunnel test data based on 4.7% model scale. The comparison results showed good agreement between the calculated data and test data and it was found that the methodology described here to predict and test afterbody drag is acceptable.

전투기급 항공기 개념설계 기간 중 항공기 초음속 순항성능에 미치는 앞전플랩 굽힘 효과를 분석하기 위하여 1/20 축척 날개-동체-꼬리 형상 모형을 사용한 고속 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 풍동시험을 위한 적절한 앞전플랩 각도를 선정하기 위하여 보정된 초음속 패널 방법을 사용하여 다양한 앞전플랩 굽힘 각도에 따른 공력특성을 분석하였다. 실험 및 수치해석적 접근 결과 분석을 기초로, 앞전플랩 굽힘 효과는 전투기급 항공기의 초음속 순항 성능 증대에 유용한 것으로 확인되었다.

Infrared guided weapons act as threats that greatly degrade the survivability of combat aircraft. Infrared weapons detect and track the target aircraft by sensing the infrared signature radiated from the aircraft fuselage. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the infrared signature and susceptibility of supersonic aircraft according to omni-directional detection angle. Through the numerical analysis, we derived the surface temperature distribution of fuselage and omni-directional infrared signature. Then, we calculated the detection range according to detection angle in consideration of IR sensor's parameters. Using in-house code, the lethal range was calculated by considering the relative velocity between aircraft and IR missile. As a result, the elevational susceptibility is larger than the azimuthal susceptibility, and it means that the aircraft can be attacked in wider area at the elevational situation.

The stealth performance of supersonic aircraft in recent air battlefield is one of the most significant feature for latest fighters. Especially, as the technology is advancing, the IR stealth capability becomes more important because of its passive characteristic. To design an aircraft with stealth capability, we must know how much the IR signature is generated from the aircraft. Also, predicting the IR signature of enemy's aircraft is tactically crucial. In this study, we calculated MWIR and LWIR infrared signature of $5^{th}$ generation supersonic aircraft against air-to-air and surface-to-air threat using IR simulation code and CFD coupled procedure.

T-50 훈련기에 탑재되어 있는 전기식 비행제어계통 (Digital fly-by-wire flight control system)은 통합 다기능 감지기(IMFP : Integrated Multi-Function Probe)를 이용하여 항공기의 고도/속도/받음각 정보를 획득한다. T-50에는 3개의 IMFP가 장착되어 있으며, 이는 제어법칙에 3중의 소스를 제공한다. IMFP로부터 제공된 3개의 공기 정보는 중간 값을 채택하여 보다 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제어법칙에 제공한다. 고고도 초음속 비행시험 결과, 초음속 영역에서 발생하는 항공기 충격파(Shock wave)의 영향으로 인해 IMFP에서 측정되는 공기정보에 일시적으로 오차가 발생하였다. 이러한 오차정보는 항공기의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 특히 저고도영역에서 이러한 오차정보가 제어법칙에 제공되어 질 경우, 항공기의 안전성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저고도 초음속 영역에서, IMFP 오차정보로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 비행안정성 및 조종성(Controllability)을 해석하기 위해 민감도해석(Sensitivity analysis) 및 HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) 조종사 평가를 수행하였다.

Relaxed static stability(RSS) concept has been applied to improve aerodynamic performance of modem version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. Therefore, flight control system are necessary to stabilize an unstable aircraft and provides adequate handling qualities. Also, flight control systems of modem version aircraft employ a safety system to support emergency situations such as a pilot unknown attitude flight conditions of an aircraft in night flight-testing. This situation is dangerous because the aircraft can lose if the pilot not take recognizance of situation. Therefore, automatic recovery system is necessary. The system called the "Pilot Activated Recovery System" or PARS, provided a pilot initiated automatic maneuver capable of an aircraft recoveries in situations of unusual attitudes. This paper addresses the concept of PARS and designed using nonlinear control law design process based on model of supersonic jet trainer. And, this control law is verified by nonlinear analysis and real-time pilot evaluation using in-house software. The result of evaluation reveals that the PARS support recovery of an aircraft unusual attitude and improve a safety of an aircraft.

The counter-flow jet from a supersonic/hypersonic vehicle causes a structural change in the shock wave generated around the aircraft, which can lead to reduced drag and heat loads. Since the idea is to mount a counter-flow jet device for drag reduction in the aircraft, it is necessary to understand the effect of such a device on the entire aircraft. In this study, the effect of drag reduction due to counter-flow jet on a conventional rocket configuration was analyzed through CFD analysis. The results showed that the drag reduction effect was the largest in the blunt region and that the counter-flow jet also affected the downstream of the aircraft. The analysis indicated that the drag reduction effect by the counter-flow jet was about 10 to 25 % when targeting the entire rocket-shaped area, while the effect was as high as 50% when targeting only blunt objects.
