An advanced method of Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) is utilized for improving the aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The flight control system utilize RSS criteria in both longitudinal and lateral-directional axes to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. The T-50 advanced trainer employs the RSS concept in order to improve the aerodynamic performance and the flight control law in order to guarantee aircraft stability. The longitudinal two modes are the short period with high frequency and the phugoid mode with low frequency. The design goals of longitudinal control laws is concerned with the short period damping and frequency optimization using lower order equivalent system and utilizing the requirement of MIL-F-8785C. Analysis of short period mode has been and continues to be performed This paper addresses the analysis of aircraft phugoid node characteristics such as damping, natural frequency, and analysis of aircraft pitch motion that impacted by angle of attack limiter and auto pitch attitude control law.

Aircraft battery is the core equipment of an aircraft that supplies engine starting power and emergency power, and it must be charged to ensure sufficient capacity at all times and maintain high reliability to ensure stable power supply. The battery of the T-50 series aircraft is designed to enable the engine to start up to two times in temperatures as low as -18℃ and above. However, intermittent failures in engine starting have been observed during winter. In this paper, we analyze the failure phenomena occurring during low-temperature charging of the battery and improve the charging algorithm based on the analysis and test. Additionally, the results of start simulation tests show that the battery charging defects at low temperatures are resolved, and an improvement in the charging performance is confirmed; thus, validating the effectiveness of the new algorithm.

지난 8월 1일 "군용항공기 비행안전성 인증에 관한 법률"이 본격 시행됐다. 국제적 수준의 비행안전 인증 체계를 마련함으로써 이제 우리도 우리 손으로 만든 국산 군용항공기의 비행안전성을 체계적으로 검증하고 국가가 그 성능을 보증할 수 있게 된 것이다. 뿐만 아니라 감항인증 관련 비용 및 시간을 대폭 단축할 수 있어 우리 손으로 만든 KT-1과 T-50의 해외 수출에도 큰 도움이 될 것으로 전망되고 있다. 군용항공기 감항인증제도 시행과 관련하여 현재까지의 진행경과 및 감항인증제도 도입 의의를 정리했다.

T-50 supersonic jet trainer aircraft using digital flight-by-wire flight control system receives aircraft flight conditions such as altitude, VCAS(Calibrated Airspeed) and Angle of Attack from IMFP(Integrated Multi-Function Probe). IMFP sensors information have triplex structure using three IMFP sensors. Air-data selection logic is mid-value selection in three information from three IMFP sensors in order to have more reliability. From supersonic flight test at high altitude, air-data information is dropped simultaneously because of supersonic shock wave effect. This error information may affect to aircraft stability and safety in supersonic area at low altitude. This paper propose that sensitivity analysis and HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) pilot simulation in order to analyze flight stability and controllability in supersonic area at low altitude when these information is applied to flight control law.

The general requirements to achieve the structural integrity of the airframe are described in the military specification, MIL-HDBK-1530. One of these requirements is the durability and damage tolerance of the airframe, which should be shown through the analysis and test based on the related specifications. This paper describes the full scale durability test load simulation to evaluate the structural safety and durability of the advanced trainer, T-50. The test load simulation was performed according to the procedure in the military specification and the KAF contract requirements. The durability test design technique which involve the floating test set-up, the optimal test load simulation method, and the 6-DOF test article balance method to secure the real flight conditions as many as possible. It was confirmed that this method will be available in a similar full-scale airframe structural test in future.

The aircraft engine is to generate thrust for the maneuver of aircraft and to provide the power to the related hydraulic system and electrical system. Since the power provided to the systems is extracted from the high pressure compressor of aircraft engine, the extracted power is called horsepower extraction (HPX). If the HPX provided from the engine is smaller than the HPX required from the related systems, there could be abnormal engine behavior, like engine rollback or stall. Analysis on comparing the required HPX and the engine HPX capability had been performed during the T/A-50 FSD (Full Scale Development) period. The analysis results make the engine schedule changed, and T/A-50 flight test has been performed with the changed engine schedule. The analysis results and changing the engine control schedule were verified to be valid with the flight test results.

For single engine application like T-50, advanced supersonic jet trainer, airstart capability is very important. This paper presents the results of airstart tests performed to verify T-50 airstart capability for various flight condition. The tests include spooldown, APU assisted and auto-relight airstart tests. Except for the auto-relight tests T-50 engine was successfully restarted for all airstart tests. After modifying FADEC flameout detection schedule, auto-relight tests also were successfully demonstrated. Through T-50 engine airstart tests excellent T-50 airstart capability was validated.

항공분야 산업은 기계/전자/소재/정보통신 등 첨단과학기술이 유기적으로 융합되어 운영되는 대표적인 IT융합산업이다. 특히, 항공기에서 IT기반 기술이 융합되어 적용되는 곳은 조종사의 성공적인 임무수행을 위한 항공기에 탑재된 응용 소프트웨어와 항공전자장비들로 구성된 항공 임베디드 시스템이다. 항공 임베디드 시스템은 항공기의 성능과 직결되고 신규 개발 및 성능 개량 시 필수적으로 개발해야하는 시스템 종속적인 1차 시스템과 시스템 독립적이며 국내외 부품시장에서 구매 가능한 서브시스템인 2차 시스템으로 나눌 수 있다. 최근 기간산업에 IT 활용 비중이 점차 높아짐에 따라 IT가 기간산업의 경쟁력을 좌우하는 핵심 요소로 부상하고 있으나, IT산업은 성장이 점차 둔화되고 있는 실정이다. 지식경제부는 이에 따라 기간산업의 경쟁력을 높이고 IT기반 융합신산업을 창출하기 위해 5대 IT융합 신 산업 창출과제를 발표했다. 5대 과제중의 하나인 국방전력 극대화 사업으로 우리 기술로 개발한 초음속 고등훈련기인 T-50에 탑재되는 임베디드 소프트웨어 및 컴퓨터를 국산화하고 있다. 본 사업으로 비행운용프로그램, 실시간 운영체제, 미들웨어, 임무컴퓨터 및 무장관리컴퓨터 등이 순조롭게 개발될 경우 전량수입에 의존하고 있는 T-50의 1차 시스템을 100% 국산화할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며 수입대체 효과와 유지보수비용 절감으로 약 2조원의 부가가치 창출이 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 개발을 진행하고 있는 항공 임베디드 시스템에 대하여 알아본다.
