  • The drone market, an unmanned aerial vehicle, is rapidly expanding and developing into an important area related to the huge changes in the traffic system of the future. With various technologies on the fourth industrial revolution, including drones, mentioned at the Davos Forum in January 2016, interest in drones is emerging as an explosive demand for national certificates. The number of drone pilots, which was only 400 in 2015, is continuing to surpass 17,000 as of 2018. Therefore, this study analyzed the safety perception of the pilots based on the DREEM (Dundee ready environmental assessment) model designed to evaluate the educational environment along with the current state of drone education in Korea. This led to the conclusion that the high level of satisfaction of the pilot with the educational environment contributes to the overall safety perception, including compliance with procedures.

  • As seen in the case of the Boeing 737 Max accident, the proportion of aircraft software is rapidly increasing. However, it is vulnerable to safety issues. In case of domestic aircraft software, to operate a Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (LUAV) less than an empty weight of 150 kg, safety certification is required for an Ultra-Light Vehicle (ULV). However, software certification procedure is not included. Since the use of LUAVs has increased recently, software verification is required. This paper proposed a checklist of LUAV software that could be applied to LUAV referring DO-178C, an aviation software certification standard. A case study of applying the proposed checklist to the Model-based Development-based Helicopter Flight Control Computer (FCC) project currently used by domestic and foreign advanced companies and institutions was conducted.

  • Recently drones have become popular enough to be one of the hobby. The drone refers to an unmanned aerial vehicle which can fly and be steered by a radio wave without a pilot and it has a airplane or helicopter shape. The drone was first started to be used from military purpose, but its usage has been expanded to the private such as construction site, crop-dusting, field discovery, freight shipping and drones to prevent cheating. However the drone that we can see often in the market is expansive, hard to be repaired when it broken down and has a discomfort of the short flight time. In this paper, to solve an uncomfortable talk on the cheap 8-bits microcontrollers ATmega128 Using drone for implementation. Axes gyroscope and accelerometers mcu between posture an attitude control, communications through drone control, pid. Receiver input them into transmitter signals of movements to control drone c the programming was implemented in on the basis of language. drone using ATmega128 microcontroller is possible hovering, By utilizing a pin that are not required for control it can be used as a drone for a variety of uses.

  • K-UAM will be commercialized through maturity after 2035. Since the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) corridor will be used vertically separating the existing helicopter corridor, the corridor usage is expected to increase. Therefore, a system for monitoring corridors is also needed. In recent years, object detection algorithms have developed significantly. Object detection algorithms are largely divided into one-stage model and two-stage model. In real-time detection, the two-stage model is not suitable for being too slow. One-stage models also had problems with accuracy, but they have improved performance through version upgrades. Among them, YOLO-V5 improved small image object detection performance through Mosaic. Therefore, YOLO-V5 is the most suitable algorithm for systems that require real-time monitoring of wide corridors. Therefore, this paper trains YOLO-V5 and analyzes whether it is ultimately suitable for corridor monitoring.K-uam will be commercialized through maturity after 2035.

  • 무인 헬리콥터의 양력을 개선하기 위한 익형 설계 단계로서 두꺼운 익형(V1505A)과 얇고 처진 익형(V2008B)의 기본 두 익형의 특성을 예측하는데 있어 회전하는 블레이드의 현실적 조건을 반영한 3D 모델을 마련하고 성능을 예측하였다. Fluent를 이용한 400 mm 선형모델의 시뮬레이션에서는 V1505A 익형은 높은 받음각에서 안정적인 특성을 보인 반면 V2008B는 비교적 높은 동력효율 특성을 보였으나, 높은 받음각에서는 실속 이후 양력이 급락하는 특성을 나타낸다. 형성된 노드 수는 약 870,000개로 하였다. 시위길이 135 mm인 익형 V2008B의 형상은 ANSYS (Fluent v16.2)를 이용해 반경(길이) 1,502 (1,380) mm 의 로터 블레이드를 구성하였다. 충분하지 않은 유동장이 익형 표면에서의 유동의 영향에 영향을 주지 않도록 직경 20 m의 원방경계(far field)를 형성하였다. 사용된 매쉬의 형태는 정사면체 형태로 로터 표면으로부터의 첫 번째 두께 높이는 0.001 m이고 10개의 층으로 형성하였다. 정지 비행하는 헬리콥터의 상태를 가정하여 회전좌표계를 이용하여 정상상태의 유동을 해석하고 사용된 난류모델은 넓은 영역에서의 유동을 고려하여 Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델을 사용하였다. 내측그립 받음각 $6{\sim}22^{\circ}$에 대하여 현실적인 회전속도를 연동하여 600~1000 rpm을 적용하였다. 반복수(iteration)는 2000으로 하여 잔차값(residual)이 충분히 수렴하도록 하였다. 전체적으로 실제 헬리콥터가 발휘하는 양력보다는 낮은 수치로 예측되었으며 모델 및 해석 조건에 대한 검토가 필요해 보인다. 양력 값은 받음각 $10^{\circ}$에서 자중(약 68 kgf)을 극복하였고 받음각 $12^{\circ}$에 유상하중 20 kgf을 발휘하며 888 N의 양력을 보였다, 이어 받음각 $22^{\circ}$에서 실속 현상이 발생하였다. 받음각이 증가함에 따라 항력 역시 증가하였으며 받음각 $12^{\circ}$에서 121 N이었고 실속에 이르며 항력은 갑자기 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구는 변이 익형 개발의 선행 단계로 기본 익형에 대한 공력특성을 CFD 시뮬레이션을 통하여 예측하였다. 예측 값은 현실적 실험방법을 통하여 검증이 되어야 하며 이후 변이익형에 대한 예측과 설계가 가능하다.

  • UAS and related technology have been mainly developed for military use but, in recent years, various types of civil UAS have been using in a variety of applications. For example, there are multicopters to shoot aerial photography, pesticide spraying unmanned helicopter, and in addition there are radio control (R/C) aircraft to be used for hobbyists. UAV has spread rapidly enough that permitted experts as well as the public can use it but the related safety regulations are not properly equipped. We investigated the status of domestic and international UAS certification system and airworthiness standards. And the trends in research for the development and modification of the certification system were studied in this paper. As a result, most countries have studied to develop the related regulations and especially ICAO has tried to develop RPAS manual, standards and recommended plans and modify the related ICAO annex through the research group, ICAO UASSG. Based on the manual and SARPs, authorities, related organizations and companies have prepared to develop and modify regulations in accordance with the actual situation of each country.
