Unmanned helicopters are needed in various fields such as monitoring system, agriculture and forest fire. Swash plate is a essential part for exact driving of unmanned helicopter. And it is usually produced by machining. In this research, hot forging process of upper swash plate has been studied to improve proof stress against repeated loading of the product. In the forming analysis, design parameters such as effective stress, effective strain and distribution of damage have been considered in the hot forging.

The task of chemical spraying has been seriously considered as an irritating and annoying job for Korean rice farmers. An agricultural unmanned helicopter was suggested to solve this problem so as the farmers to have more decent farming condition. The objectives of this study were to analyze the adoptability of an experimental rotor blade (SW05) using the CFD simulation and also to compare the simulation results with experimental results. The simulation results showed that the induced power of this rotor reached to $57{\sim}63%$ of total power and the profile power was about $37{\sim}43%$ of total power. Therefore it can be concluded that this rotor's performance characteristics were not so efficient for the size of unmanned helicopter due to the low induced power and high profile power relatively compared with ones of conventional rotors. The comparison with experimental results showed that the tested lifts were less than 70% of simulated ones at the grip pitch of $12^{\circ}$ and decreased to 40% at the $18^{\circ}$ grip pitch. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rotor was too oversized to be used for a 15.4 kW (21 PS) engine.

PD 제어기 기반으로 설계된 무인헬리콥터의 내부루프 제어기의 성능을 향상시키기 위 하여 한 개의 신경회로망이 적용되었다. 오차방정식의 응답특성 기반으로 설계된 PD 제어기는 운동모델의 비선형성에 의해 성능이 저하된다. 이러한 비선형성은 운동모델로부터 변형된 운동 역변환 모델(Modified Dynamic Inversion Model, MDIM)로 분리되었고 신경회로망의 출력에 의해 보상되었다. 신경회로망의 학습에는 제어기 안정성 보장을 위하여 리야프노프의 직접방법(Lyapunov's direct method)으로부터 유도된 온라인 가중치 적응법칙이 이용되었다. 신경회로망에 의한 PD제어기의 성능향상은 비선형성을 갖고 있는 무인헬리콥터의 수치시뮬레이션 결과로 보였다.

In this paper, Recursive Least Squares (RLS) and Fourier Transform Regression (FTR) methods for estimating stability and control derivatives of small unmanned helicopter are evaluated together with MMLE technique. Flight data simulated by using a commercial small-scale helicopter model are exploited to estimate the parameters with accuracies for hover and cruise modes. The performances of the system identification methods are also compared by analyzing the responses of the reconstructed systems using estimated derivatives.

Purpose: While an unmanned helicopter has been extensively used for spraying chemicals on agricultural crops, its low utilization (two months per year from July to August) has recently become an issue. This study aimed to increase the utilization of the unmanned helicopter. The centrifugal rice seeder, a mounting device for rice seeding for unmanned helicopter was developed and assessed its performance. Methods: The concept of the centrifugal spraying device was to obtain design criteria for centrifugal distribution. Four types of blade shapes namely straight, curved, straight wing and curved wing were developed and used. The rotational speed of the blades was tested at 1,000, 1,200 and 1,400 rpm. Results: The blade shapes, rotational blade speed and angle of trajectory were theoretically analyzed and results were validated with a series of laboratory experiments. Conclusions: The curved wing blades provided the distribution uniformity (DU) at 1,200rpm of rotational speed and 60 degree of seed drop point. The spray uniformity of 4.2% was also achieved.

본 논문에서는 농업용 무인헬기를 위한 LiDAR 기반 충돌방지시스템을 제안하고 개발과정을 소개한다. 충돌방지시스템은 장애물 검출 시스템, 매핑 알고리즘, 충돌회피 알고리즘으로 구성된다. LiDAR 기반의 장애물 검출 시스템은 무인헬기에 탑재되어 실시간으로 장애물 정보를 획득하며, 이를 통해 획득한 정보와 무인헬기 자세/위치 정보를 융합하여 충돌위험성이 있는 장애물에 대해 격자 지도 기법을 적용한 매핑을 수행한다. 무인헬기가 장애물에 접근할 시 확보된 지형정보를 기반으로 충돌방지 경고 생성을 위해 종/횡방향 기동을 고려한 충돌방지 알고리즘을 구현하며, 이를 통해 운용자에게 전달해 회피 기동을 수행한다. 구축된 시스템은 무인헬기를 이용해 항공방제 패턴을 모사한 비행시험을 수행하였으며, 비행시험 결과 충돌방지 성능 및 가능성을 확인하였다.

A small unmanned helicopter was suggested to replace the conventional spray system. Aerial application using an agricultural helicopter helps precise and timely spraying, and reduces labor intensity and environmental pollution. In this research, a rotor system (SW05) was developed and its lift capability was evaluated. Lift force for the dead weight of the helicopter was obtained at the grip pitch angle of $12^{\circ}$. As the pitch angle increased to $14^{\circ}$ and $16^{\circ}$, the payload increased to 176 N and 216 N, respectively. Compared with SW04 airfoil performance in the total lift, the SW05 airfoil showed nearly the same capacity, but the payload of the SW05 was reduced because of the increased dead weight. A rated flight condition was defined as lifting mean payload of 294 N with the grip pitch angles of $16{\sim}17^{\circ}$ at the rotor rotating speed of 850~950 rpm for the adjusted engine power. The fuel consumption would be 4.8~6.0 L/hr, and the air temperature of cooling fan should be kept below $160^{\circ}C$.

In this paper dynamic modeling parameters were estimated using a frequency domain estimation method. A systematic flight test method was employed using preprogrammed multistep excitation of the swashplate control input. In addition when one axis is excited, the autopilot is engaged in the other axis, thereby obtaining high-quality flight data. A dynamic model was derived for a small scale unmanned helicopter (CNUHELI-020, developed by Chungnam National University) equipped with a Bell-Hiller stabilizer bar. Six degree of freedom equations of motion were derived using the total forces and moments acting on the small scale helicopter. The dynamics of the main rotor is simplified by the first order tip-path plane, and the aerodynamic effects of fuselage, tail rotor, engine, and horizontal/vertical stabilizer were considered. Trim analysis and linearized model were used as a basic model for the parameter estimation. Doublet and multistep inputs are used to excite dynamic motions of the helicopter. The system and input matrices were estimated in the frequency domain using the equation error method in order to match the data of flight test with those of the dynamic modeling. The dynamic modeling and the flight test show similar time responses, which validates the consequence of analytic modeling and the procedures of parameter estimation.
