Various flyers in nature have attracted great interests with a recent need for developing versatile and small-size flight vehicles. In the present study, we focus on the flying fish which has been observed to glide a long distance just above a seawater surface. Since previous studies have depended on the field observation or measurement of the physical parameters only, quantitative data of the flying fish flight has not been provided so far. Therefore, we evaluate the wing performance of the flying fish in gliding flight by directly measuring the lift, drag and pitching moment on real flying fish models (Cypselurus hiraii) in a wind tunnel. In addition, we investigate the roles of wing morphology like the enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, and lateral dihedral angle of pectoral fins. With both the pectoral and pelvic fins spread, the lift-to-drag ratio is larger and the longitudinal static stability is enhanced than those with the pelvic fins folded. From the glide polar, we find that the wing performance of flying fish is equivalent to those of medium-size birds like the petrel, hawk and wood duck. Finally, we examine the effect of water surface underneath the flying fish and find that the water surface reduces the drag and increases the lift-to-drag ratio.

Numerical analysis of aerodynamic heating for KPSAM is performed using aerodynamic heating model suitable to KPSAM, which has complex flow field resulting from the spike attached to the dome, such as large separation area and the strong shock/boundary layer interaction region around reattachment point on the dome. The aerodynamic heating model is validated and modified through the comparison between the flight test measurement and the thermal analysis results. TFD temperature sensors are installed on the dome to measure surface temperature during the flight. Computation results, obtained from the heat transfer analysis on the sensors, agree well with flight test data. The aerodynamic heating model provides heat transfer rate into surface as a boundary condition of unsteady 1D/axisymmetric thermal analysis on the missile structure. The axisymmetric thermal analysis using FLUENT is more versatile than the 1D analysis and can be applied to the heating problem related with complex structures and multi-dimensional heat transfer problems such as prediction of temperature rise at contact surface of different materials.

Conventional ultrasonic thickness measurement is to be considered as the assumption that the ultrasonic velocity is known. In actual applications the velocity is often not well known and access is often limited to one side. This paper aims at determining the ultrasonic velocity and thickness of plates with parallel or wedged surfaces using contact measurements made on one surface only. For wedged plates the thickness at one point and the wedge angle are determined. Equations are used for determining the ultrasonic velocity, thickness and wedge angle of the plate based on the times-of-flight measured by two contact transducers coupled to one surface. The time-of-flight of the obliquely reflected longitudinal wave echo was measured as a function of the separation between the two transducers. In addition, a simulation was made for comparing the experimental data and a FEM image. Experiments and simulations were performed on flat and wedged plates of aluminium materials; the calculated results for the unknown quantities are generally agreed with them to some degree.

Purpose We conducted a study on the reconstruction of the head's shape in 3D using the ToF depth sensor. A time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) is a range imaging camera system that resolves distance based on the known speed of light, measuring the time-of-flight of a light signal between the camera and the subject for each point of the image. The above method is the safest way of measuring the head shape of plagiocephaly patients in 3D. The texture, appearance and size of the head were reconstructed from the measured data and we used the SDF method for a precise reconstruction. Materials and Methods To generate a precise model, mesh was generated by using Marching cube and SDF. Results The ground truth was determined by measuring 10 people of experiment participants for 3 times repetitively and the created 3D model of the same part from this experiment was measured as well. Measurement of actual head circumference and the reconstructed model were made according to the layer 3 standard and measurement errors were also calculated. As a result, we were able to gain exact results with an average error of 0.9 cm, standard deviation of 0.9, min: 0.2 and max: 1.4. Conclusion The suggested method was able to complete the 3D model by minimizing errors. This model is very effective in terms of quantitative and objective evaluation. However, measurement range somewhat lacks 3D information for the manufacture of protective helmets, as measurements were made according to the layer 3 standard. As a result, measurement range will need to be widened to facilitate production of more precise and perfectively protective helmets by conducting scans on all head circumferences in the future.

Wearing ease is a critical factor when designing special uniforms such as flight pilot's garment and should reflect occupational properties for better performance. This study measured skin surface on 31 areas in seven postures that refer to the pilot's occupational postures as well as made six prediction models including linear mixed model (LMM) for each body part to find the best fit model. Skin surface measured from 3D body scanned images of 11 male pilot participants. There were significantly positive and negative changes in various areas from standing posture (P1) to dynamic postures (P2-P7). Six models were designed in various compositions using stature and chest circumference as fixed effects and subject and posture as random effects. The best models were linear mixed models with one fixed effect (chest circumference or stature, varies with body parts) and two random effects (subject and posture). The results of this study provide reference data to set wearing ease for pilot's garment and suggests a new methodology in this research area, but verifying the effect of diverse independent variables is left for future studies.

The UV radiometer payload was launched successfully from the west coastal area of Korea Peninsula aboard KSR-III on 28, Nov 2002. KSR-III was the Korean third generation sounding rocket and was developed as intermediate step to larger space launch vehicle with liquid propulsion engine system. UV radiometer onboard KSR-III consists of UV and visible band optical phototubes to measure the direct solar attenuation during rocket ascending phase. For UV detection, 4 channel of sensors were installed in electronics payload section and each channel has 255, 290, 310nm center wavelengths, respectively. 450nm channel was used as reference for correction of the rocket attitude during the flight. Transmission characteristics of all channels were calibrated precisely prior to the flight test at the Optical Lab. in KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). During a total of 231s flight time, the onboard data telemetered to the ground station in real time. The ozone column density was calculated by this telemetry raw data. From the calculated column density, the vertical ozone profile over Korea Peninsula was obtained with sensor calibration data. Our results had reasonable agreements compared with various observations such as ground Umkhr measurement at Yonsei site, ozonesonde at Pohang site, and satellite measurements of HALOE and POAM. The sensitivity analysis of retrieval algorithm for parameters was performed and it was provided that significant error sources of the retrieval algorithm.

유도형 탄약은 비행속도 증가를 이용한 기존의 사거리 증가 방식과 다르게 정밀 유도제어를 사거리 연장 및 정밀 타격하는 기술을 기반으로 한다. 고회전으로 상승하는 탄은 탄도 정점에서 후미 날개를 전개하여 회전을 감소하고, 최종적으로 회전을 제거한 후 비행하게 된다. 주 날개 전개 전 탄체 뒤집힘 감지를 위하여 자세 추정이 요구되는데, 회전 감속 중에서는 일정한 회전을 가정한 기존의 유도무기 자세 추정 기법을 사용할 수 없다. 또한, 비행 시에는 횡축 가속도를 제어하기 때문에 중력 가속도 성분을 기반으로 하는 일반적인 무인기의 자세 추정 기법은 큰 오차를 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 저속 회전 및 비행 중 자세추정기법을 제시하고, 무인기에 탑재하여 비행 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 저속 회전 중 자세 추정 기법은 롤 각을 상태변수로 갖는 칼만 필터 형태로 구성하였다. 비행 시 자세 추정 기법은 사원수를 이용한 곱연산 확장형 칼만 필터를 기반으로 하며, 가속도 측정치가 중력 가속도뿐만 아니라 선회에 의한 구심력을 포함하도록 측정 모델을 개선하였다.

Purpose: Aerial spraying with an agricultural unmanned helicopter became a new paradigm in the agricultural practice. Laterally tilting behavior of a conventional agricultural helicopter, resulting in the biased down-wash and uneven spray deposit is a physically intrinsic phenomenon while hovering and cruise flights. Authors studied and developed a roll-balanced agricultural helicopter with a raised pylon tail rotor system. In this study, the attitude of the roll-balanced helicopter was determined using the Kalman filter algorithm, and the quality of roll balancing of a bare-airframe helicopter was evaluated. Methods: Instantaneous attitudes were estimated using the advantage of gyroscope, followed by the long term correction and prediction using accelerometer data for the advantage of convergence. The attitudes of the fuselage were calculated by applying the Kalman filter algorithm. The spraying maneuver of the helicopter was performed at a field of 50 m long, and the attitude data were acquired and evaluated. Results: The determination of attitude using the inertial measurement unit(IMU) and Kalman filter was reliable and practical. The intrinsic attitude of the developed helicopter was stable and roll-balanced. The deviation of roll angle was ${\pm}6.3^{\circ}$ with an average of $0^{\circ}$, referring to roll-balanced. Conclusions: Handling quality of the roll attitude determined to be steadily balanced. The balancing behavior of the developed helicopter would result in an even spray pattern during aerial application.

새로 설계된 항공기 장착용 외장형 포드의 비행 시험용 계측포드를 설계하였다. 계측포드는 하중, 진동환경 및 공력 가열등 일반적인 항목뿐만 아니라 공력음향 환경에 대한 측정이 가능하도록 제작하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 국내 최초로 수행 예정인 비행공력 음향 환경 측정에 대하여 집중적으로 다루었다. 계측포드는 MIL-HDBK-1763과 MIL-STD-810 Method 515에서 요구한 공력음향 시험요구 조건을 만족하도록 설계/제작되었다. MIL-STD-810에서 제시한 방법을 활용하여 공력음향 센서의 위치와 측정범위를 결정하였다. 센서는 혹독한 비행시험 환경을 고려하여 ENDEVCO 8510B-2를 사용하였다. 완성된 계측포드의 성능 시험을 위하여 KF-16 Sta. 5에 장착 후 지상 Run-Up 시험을 수행하여 자료를 획득하였다. 자료 분석결과 시스템은 정상적으로 작동하였으나, 공력음향 센서의 측정 범위를 상회하는 음압이 측정되어 비행 시험시 측정범위의 변경이 요구되었다.

본 연구는 천연 인듐의 중성자폭획 후에 발생된 감마선을 12개의 BGO($Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}$) 섬광검출기로 구성된 검출장치를 이용하여 즉발감마선을 측정하여 중성자공명에 의해서 발생된 감마선을 분석하여 중성자의 에너지 1 ~ 300 eV 영역에 대하여 공명에너지를 분석하였다. 사용되어진 검출장치는 시료에서 발생된 즉발감마선에 대하여 모든 감마선을 측정할 수 있는 기하학적인 구조로 만들어졌다. 중성자원으로는 교토대학의 원자로연구소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속기의 광핵반응에서 발생하는 중성자를 이용하였다. 중성자발생원으로부터 검출기까지의 거리가 $12.7{\pm}0.02m$이므로 광핵반응에서 발생하는 강한 X선의 영향을 고려하여 수 keV영역이하의 중성자에너지에 대하여 중성자공명을 측정하였다. 측정되어진 공명들은 1 eV이상의 에너지 영역에서 거대 공명들을 측정하였고 이들 공명들은 이론에서 알려진 값들과 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 기존에 알려진 거대 공명의 에너지를 확인하였고, 100 eV이상의 에너지 영역에서의 공명에너지들에 대한 평가에 의한 이론값들이 실제로 존재하는 공명임을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 1 keV 이상의 영역에 대하여는 공명이 연속적인 구조를 보이고 있음을 실험적으로 확인했으며 공명에 대하여 통계적인 평가가 있어야함을 알았다. 91.49 eV 공명은 본 연구를 통하여 처음 발견되어진 공명이라 볼 수 있다.
