It is important during FSD(Full Scale Development) period to verify whether the aircraft system function meets the aircraft requirements and functional performance. Especially, the functionality of the integrated propulsion system should be verified to evaluate the compatibility with aircraft. Various flight tests such as the engine airstart test, the engine horsepower extraction test, the backup throttle functionality test had been performed to evaluate the engine/aircraft compatibility with T-50 during FSD period. Through such flight tests, it was confirmed that the propulsion system of T-50 was properly designed and installed to the aircraft. This paper shows description on each flight test item, test procedure and test results. It is expected that this paper could be a reference for preparing the propulsion flight test in other aircraft developments.

Aircraft communication system which provides internal communications between pilots in an aircraft and external communications between pilots and operators in ground tower with them. It is very important equipment in terms of mission and safety. It wouldn't meet performance requirements with only functions of transmission and receiving of signals. It should provide highly clear voice quality without any noise. This paper analyzes the cause of noise during internal communications and summarizes the design changes applying single point ground concept to solve the problem. It also describes the results of fight test to verify the design changes.

The cabin pressurization system response should be consistent with the design limits such as the cabin pressure schedule, the pressure regulation tolerance, the maximum rate of pressure change during normal and abnormal operation and the maximum cabin air inflow rate change. In this paper, the results of pressure loss analysis and flight test for cabin pressurization system of T-50 advanced trainer are introduced. The pressure tolerance at unpressurized condition using calculated exit area of pressurization components through pressure loss analysis is predicted. Pressurization components of D company are selected and the predicted pressure tolerance is in good agreement with flight test results. Finally, T-50 pressurization system is verified by some flight tests of T-50 advanced trainer to comply with various pressurization design criteria of MIL-E-18927.

This research investigates the export strategy for pioneering a new market of Advanced Pilot Trainer T-50, a business unit of KAI company, and increasing its market share. The export strategy is proposed based on the Corporate Marketing Model along with the market oriented concept. Specific sales strategies are extracted in consideration of product analysis, market analysis, and integration of product and target market. Therefore, six countries in Africa are selected as the primary target markets on account of their market potentials. In addition, T-50 is repositioned to 'T-50Af' as 'high price competitive and multi-role trainer.' The business implications include the expansion of the market in Africa and the pursuit of the consistent development and growth of T-50.

Pressurization test is usually required in aircraft full-scale static test. There are several test conditions including pressurization of cockpit, fuselage fuel tank, air inlet duct for T-50 full-scale static test. In this paper, the test conditions, equipment, piping analysis for the pressurization test are introduced. Tank simulation test is performed to verify the validity of piping analysis and to find good tuning parameters for the pressurization channel in the servo controller. Several test setup for pressurization of T-50 test is introduced. Test article volume is filled by form, $60%{\sim}80%$ volume is reduced for the T-50 full-scale static test. Pressurization system is connected to servo controller which also controls hydraulic actuator. Load and pressure control is synchronized by using the same servo controller during T-50 test. Typical control result for pressurization test condition is shown. Pressurization tests of T-50 full-scale static test was completed successfully.

Icing cloud generation system was developed to perform the in-flight icing simulation test for T-50 Supersonic Jet Trainer on the ground. The developed system successfully generated the almost natural icing cloud in the super-cooled state (liquid state) below freezing point and with the required LWC (Liquid Water Content). For full-scale aircraft icing test, an icing scaling method was adopted due to the limitation of wind generation speed with open-circuit type blower and its applicability was experimentally verified. Under the required in-flight icing condition based on the icing scaling method, T-50 aircraft subsystems were successfully operated and functionally checked.
