In order to include the design capability for a compound rotorcraft in a helicopter conceptual design and optimization framework, relevant further improvement was planned and conducted. Previously, a certain conceptual design optimization framework was developed by the present authors to design a modern rotorcraft with single main and tail rotor. The previously developed framework was further improved to expand its capability for a compound rotorcraft. Specifically, its power estimation algorithm was upgraded by using a comprehensive rotorcraft analysis program, CAMRAD II. The presently improved conceptual design and optimization framework was validated using data of the XH-59A aircraft.

Aircraft conceptual design usually uses low to medium fidelity analysis to determine the basic configuration of an aircraft. Optimum solution is bounded by at least one of the constraints in most cases. This solution has risk to fail at later stage when analyzed with more sophisticated analysis tools. This research uses pre-constructed database to estimate the analysis prediction errors associated with simplified analysis methods. A possibility based design optimization framework is developed to utilize the newly proposed piecewise-linear fuzzy membership functions that compensate the discrepancies caused by simplified analysis. The proposed approach for aircraft design produces the optimum aircraft configurations that are less likely to fall into infeasible region when analyzed using higher fidelity analysis at later design stages.

Handling constantly evolving configurations of aircraft can be inefficient and frustrating to design engineers, especially true in the early design phase when many design parameters are changeable throughout trade-off studies. In this paper, a physics-based design framework using parametric modeling is introduced, which is designated as DIAMOND/AIRCRAFT and developed for structural design of transport aircraft in the conceptual and preliminary design phase. DIAMOND/AIRCRAFT can relieve the burden of labor-intensive and time-consuming configuration changes with powerful parametric modeling techniques that can manipulate ever-changing geometric parameters for external layout of design alternatives. Furthermore, the design framework is capable of generating FE model in an automated fashion based on the internal structural layout, basically a set of design parameters describing the structural members in terms of their physical properties such as location, spacing and quantities. The design framework performs structural sizing using the FE model including both primary and secondary structural levels. This physics-based approach improves the accuracy of weight estimation significantly as compared with empirical methods. In this study, combining a physics-based model with parameter modeling techniques delivers a high-fidelity design framework, remarkably expediting otherwise slow and tedious design process of the early design phase.

Concern for noise problems of a commercial aircraft in community and cabin is increasing due to the more restrictive regulation and customer requirements. This paper introduces to the work packages of the aircraft noise engineer for the development of a commercial aircraft. First of all, the noise engineer establish the design requirement and objectives(DR&O). Then the design and analysis are performed to satisfy with the DR&O during the conceptual and preliminary design phase. And the test and evaluation(T&E) are carried out to verify the analysis results and to acquire the type certification.

본 연구에서는 개념 설계 과정에서 항공 인증 규정 및 의사결정모델을 이용하여 최적화 문제 구성과 항공기 기준형상을 선정하는 프로세스를 정립하고, 이를 소형제트항공기에 적용하였다. 항공기 안전성을 보장하기 위한 최소안전 요구조건인 항공 인증 규정은 항공기 설계 초기단계에서부터 고려되어야 하는 사항으로 반드시 만족해야 한다. 인증 규정 및 사용자 요구도 분석 후, 산업공학기법인 Affinity Diagram, Nested Column Diagram, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Pugh Concept Selection Matrix와 같은 의사결정모델을 사용하여 alternative 형상군에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 그 후 Best alternative 형상에 대한 설계가능영역 분석을 통해 항공 인증 규정에 적합하고 객관적인 문제 구성 및 항공기 기준형상을 도출 할 수 있었다.

The 1st development of "Human Powered Aircraft(HPA)" in Korea has been conducting by KAFA(Korea Air Force Academy) from Aug. 2008 to now. HPA is an aircraft powered by directly human energy. The thrust provided by the human power may be the only source and that is weak. Therefore, light weight and strong structure is first requirement. In this paper, treating a basic conceptual design of HPA and material property and material choice for HPA. Also analysing the structure and checking the safety of HPA.

During the conceptual design of turboprop aircraft, the power effect driven from rotating propeller is typically obtained from empirical data. In the present paper, propeller power effect was obtained by using unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver with $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model for the accurate prediction of turboprop aircraft performance. In order to simulate the relative motion between propeller and fuselage, unsteady sliding mesh method was used. During simulation, three flow conditions such as climb, cruise and descending flight were selected considering the flight envelop of the real turboprop aircraft. For the correction of aerodynamic coefficients, the thrust effect of engine exhaust gas was included based on the engine manufacturer's data. Using the computational results, the correction table for the aerodynamic coefficient of turboprop aircraft was suggested for the performance analysis of turboprop aircraft.

Several studies on the development for solar powered uninhabited aerial vehicles(UAVs) are under way as the use of the renewable energy becomes more and more important these days. This paper is for the conceptual design by a discrete and iterative method. An initial design point with 1.5 meter wing span is determined in the global design, which deploys the mass and energy balances among each component of UAV including solar cells and airframe. Then, the iteration for subsystems is carried out with the help of Vortex Lattice Method(VLM) to optimize the aircraft configuration and the solar power system. It is demonstrated in simulations that the optimized design increases the flight time from 62 to 120 minutes when the solar power system is installed. Also, the associated dynamic analysis reveals that the designed small aircraft has the acceptable stability and controllability.

기존의 전기 모터는 큰 중량과 부피의 단점으로 항공기 적용에 적합하지 않다. 고온 초전도 (High-Temperature Superconducting: HTS) 모터는 전류 밀도와 자기장 밀도가 높으며 손실이 적어 일반 전기모터와 비교하여 크기와 무게를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문은 미래 항공기 전기 추진용 HTS 모터의 개념 설계 및 해석 결과를 제시한다. 회전속도가 7,200 RPM인 2.5 MW 용량의 HTS 모터를 설계하고 무게 대비 출력 비(kW/kg)를 분석하였다. HTS 모터 계자코일 (Field Coil)의 운전온도는 LH₂ (Liquid Hydrogen) 냉각을 고려하여 20K을 선정하였다. 고정자 권선 (Stator Winding)은 다상 구성 (Multi-Phase Configuration)으로 연결하였고 와전류 (Eddy Current) 손실을 최소화하기 위해 Litz 선을 사용하였다. 결과적으로 모터의 무게 대비 출력 비는 약 18.67 kW/kg으로 기존 모터보다 훨씬 높음을 확인하였다.
