Drones, which were early operated by remote control, have evolved to enable autonomous flight by combining various sensors and software tools. In particular, autonomous flight of drones was possible since the application of GNSS-RTK (global navigation satellite system with real-time kinematic positioning), a precision satellite navigation technology. For instance, unmanned drone delivery based on GNSS-RTK data was demonstrated for pizza delivery in Korea for the first time in 2021. However, the vulnerabilities of GNSS-RTK should be overcome for delivery drones to be commercialized. In particular, jamming in the navigation system and low positioning accuracy in urban areas should be addressed. Solving these two problems can lead to stable flight, takeoff, and landing of drones in urban areas, and the corresponding solutions are expected to establish a hybrid positioning technology. We discuss current trends in hybrid positioning technology that can either replace or complement GNSS-RTK for stable drone autonomous flight.

로터 시스템을 사용하는 도심 항공 모빌리티(Urban Air Mobility, UAM)는 이착륙 시 버티포트(Vertiport)에서 지면 효과를 경험하게 된다. UAM의 안전한 운용을 위해서는 지면 효과가 비행체의 공력성능에 미치는 영향성이 선행적으로 분석되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)를 적용하여지면 효과가 동축 반전 프로펠러를 장착한 쿼드콥터 형상 전기동력 수직이착륙기 전기체의 공력성능 및 후류 구조에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 동축 반전 프로펠러 시스템의 상하부 프로펠러에서 지면 효과 영향성은 상이하게 관찰되었다. 지면과의 이격 거리가 변화하더라도 상부 프로펠러의 성능에는 큰 변화가 없었지만, 지면과 가까워질수록 하부 프로펠러에서는 평균 추력과 토크 값이 크게 증가하였다. 또한 이격 거리가 감소함에 따라 추력 변동의 진폭이 증가하는 경향성이 나타났다. 지면 효과에 의해 프로펠러 후류는 하류 방향으로 충분히 전파되지 못하고 지면을 따라 발달한 Outwash 흐름에 의해 확산되었다. 프로펠러 시스템 사이에서 지면 확산 유동이 충돌하는 분수 와류(Fountain Vortex)의 형성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 동체착륙 방식의 소형 고정익 무인항공기의 구조적 취약점 분석 및 품질 개선에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 소형 고정익 무인항공기는 일반 비행체와는 달리 활주로를 사용하지 않는 투척이륙과 동체착륙 방식을 많이 사용한다. 이러한 방식은 좁은 공간에서 이륙, 착륙이 가능하여 운용적으로 많은 장점이 있다. 하지만, 동체착륙은 비행체 구조에 강한 충격이 발생하여 작은 설계 오류로 심각한 파손을 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구 대상인 비행체 또한 착륙과정에서 특정 부위에 지속적인 파손이 발생하였다. 이러한 현상의 정확한 원인분석을 위해 파손이 발생한 부위를 3D 구조 해석프로그램(ABAQUS)을 활용하여 구조 해석을 실시하여 정확한 위치를 파악하였고 구조해석에 정확성을 높이기 위해 시편 시험을 통해 재료의 물성치 정보를 획득하였다. 해석 결과 구조적 취약점을 확인하여 개선을 진행하였고 품질이 향상된 구조물을 운용 중 최대 충격량의 1.5배의 더 높은 수준의 실제 충격시험을 통해 검증함으로써 연구의 타당성을 입증하였다.

The purposes of this study was to investigate the biomechanical influence of the walking shoe with a plate spring in the heel and interchangeable heel cushioning elements. Eighteen subjects walked in three conditions: 1) the walking shoes Type A-1 with a soft heel insert, 2) the Type A-2 shoe with a stiff heel insert, 3) a general walking shoe(Type B). Ground reaction forces, leg movements, leg muscle activity and ankle, knee and hip joint loading were measured and calculated during overground walking. During walking, the ankle is a few degrees more dorsiflexed during landing and the knee is slightly more flexed during takeoff with the Type A shoes. As a result of the changes in the walking movement, the ground reaction forces are applied more quickly and the peak magnitudes are higher. Muscle activity of the quadricep, hamstring and calf muscles decrease during the first 25% of the stance phase when walking in the Type A shoes. The resultant joint moments at the ankle, knee and hip joints decrease from 30-40% with the largest reductions occurring during landing.

Airport operations are well-known as a bottleneck in the air traffic system, putting growing pressure on the world's busiest airports to schedule arrivals and departures as efficiently as possible. Effective planning and control are essential for increasing airport efficiency and reducing aircraft delays. Many algorithms for controlling the arrival/departure queuing area are handled, considering it as first in first out queues, where any available aircraft can take off regardless of its relative sequence with other aircraft. In the suggested system, this problem was compared to the problem of scheduling n tasks (plane takeoffs and landings) on a multiple machine (runways). The proposed technique decreases delays (via efficient runway allocation or allowing aircraft to be expedited to reach a scheduled time) to enhance runway capacity and decrease delays. The aircraft scheduling problem entails arranging aircraft on available runways and scheduling their landings and departures while considering any operational constraints. The topic of this work is the scheduling of aircraft landings and takeoffs on multiple runways. Each aircraft's takeoff and landing schedules have time windows, as well as minimum separation intervals between landings and takeoffs. We present and evaluate a variety of comprehensive concepts and solutions for scheduling aircraft arrival and departure times, intending to reduce delays relative to scheduled times. When compared to First Come First Serve scheduling algorithm, the suggested strategy is usually successful in reducing the average waiting time and average tardiness while optimizing runway use.

This study intends to present the UAM pilot qualifications and training and education systems based on the roadmap of technology for K-UAM operation system, which is being promoted for commercialization in 2025. There are currently about 250 eVTOL manufactures around the world, and they are gearing up to produce a variety of UAM aircrafts. In Korea, 35 companies including Hyundai Motor company, Korean Air, Lotte and SKT are accelerating the development of UAM aircrafts. UAM is being developed as a public goods concept centered on public transportation and urban aviation rather than private transportation. Therefore, the UAM pilot qualification and education and training system should be suitable for operations in densely populated areas and complex urban enviroments. In other words, in order to ensure safe UAM operations, the competencies and qualifications of UAM pilots should be clearly established.

PURPOSES : The evaluation of the pavement condition of the asphalt concrete pavement of No. 2 runway of Inchon International Airport through PMS, a supporting system for making a decision of pavement, maintenance and repair, was made, and the proper time for repair according to the PCI reduction rate was suggested. METHODS : By comparing and analyzing the evaluation results of pavements built in 2009, 2010, 2011, PCI change in each facility (No. 2 runway, C parallel taxiway, connection taxiway) was calculated. By applying the calculated change to PCI deduction rate model, the pavement condition of the target sections was estimated, and then the necessary section and time for repair were chosen. RESULTS : After careful consideration of the time for pavement and maintenance, based on the result of PCI prediction, it was estimated that the southern takeoff and landing section of No. 2 runway was required to be repaired in 2012; connection taxiway in 2013; and C parallel taxiway in 2014; however, the section which is the main moving route of connection taxiway and C parallel taxiway was needed to be repaired in 2012. CONCLUSIONS : For maintenance and repair of airport pavements, the optimal alternative should be chosen by considering economics and operability, via examining the time for repair and the aspect of management all together on the basis of this study.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is considered the future of transportation, offering solutions to urban challenges and reducing environmental issues through the use of electric power and leveraging the sky as a new transportation corridor. UAM has diverse applications, including passenger and goods transportation, emergency rescue operations, patient transfers, and urban tourism. Furthermore, it is poised to revolutionize the transportation landscape, impacting existing infrastructures such as roads and parking lots, along with autonomous vehicles. The UAM industry is anticipated to exert a significant impact on various sectors, including airframe manufacturing, the development of new materials (e.g., fuel cells and batteries), and even the defense industry, resulting in substantial economic benefits. Consequently, conducting proactive research and setting industry standards for UAM takeoff and landing infrastructure is crucial for securing market leadership. In this regard, the case of Pontoise-Cormeiles, France, stands out as it achieved the world's inaugural successful demonstration of a vertiport before the 2024 Olympics. This achievement has significant implications for our preparations for the commercialization of UAMs. Thus, a detailed review of the French vertiport construction case in this study will serve as a foundation for guiding the planning and operation of UAMs in South Korea, particularly in anticipation of upcoming demonstration tests.
