Pilot and flight crew visual performance in general aviation aircraft operating is paramount for safe operation of the aircraft. Pilot compartment view, instrument and cockpit lighting forms an essential aspect of this visual performance, and therefore warrants guidance and standardization. This study introduces acceptable design criteria for pilot compartment view, instrument and cockpit illumination for general aviation aircraft.

Propeller shall have high efficiency and improved aerodynamic characteristics to get the thrust to fly at high speed for the turboprop aircraft. That is way Clark-Y airfoil which is used to conventional 1600kW class aircraft propeller is selected as a blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the propeller design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point of turboprop aircraft. The propeller design results indicate that is evaluated to be properly constructed, through analysis of propeller aerodynamic characteristics using the Meshless method and MRF, SM method.

This paper surveys the historical perspective and design considerations for developing the human powered aircraft(HPA). Especially the weight and materials, aerodynamics, flight controls, and power trains are focused. The average power a human can produce and sustain is approximately 200${\sim}$250 W which is a critical design constraint of HPA. The survey shows that the empty weight of HPA was in the 30${\sim}$40 kg range(90${\sim}$110 kg include pilot). Thus, in order to design a successful HPA, the value of power to weight ratio should be 2.0 W/kg or above. The HPA design technique could be applied directly to the development of an unmanned high altitude airplanes used for atmospheric research, where light structures, low Reynolds number aerodynamics and high efficiency propeller design are required as well.

In preliminary design phase, the wing geometry of the civil aircraft was determined using the empirical equation and historical data. To make wing geometry more aerodynamically efficient, an aerodynamic shape optimization was conducted. For this purpose the parametric modeling, high fidelity CFD analysis and metamodel-based optimal design technique were adopted. The parametric modeling got the design process to achieve the improvement by generating the configuration outputs easily for the major design variables. The optimal design equations were formularized as the type of the multi-objective functions considering low/high speed and lift/drag coefficient. The optimal solution was explored with the help of the kriging metamodel and the desirability function, therefore the optimal wing planform was sought to be excellent at both low and high speed region. Additionally the optimal wing planform was validated that it was excellent not only at the specific AOA, but also all over the range of AOA.

With the financial sponsorship of FKI and six other companies, the design and construction of the human powered aircraft Sky Runner has been begun to design in December of 2008. And it flew in late December of 2009. The original design configuration was continuously modified in response to test results as a 30.36m span, $35.25m^2$ wing area, 26.0 aspect ratio and 39.8kg of empty weight. Although, we have made only 150m flight flying a few seconds so far however, it will contribute to the research of ultra-light and long duration flying planes. A brief review of some design features, wing layout, prop design, fabrication and flight test results are presented.

KC-100(KAI Civil Aircraft, Small Series) aircraft is 4 seats general aviation aircraft with single piston engine which is developing under FAA part 23 category by Korea Aerospace Industries(KAI) and will be a shadow program for civil aircraft safety infrastructure improvement. This aircraft will be the first civil aircraft developed in Korea meeting the Korean regulatory KAS Part 23 requirements. Type certification for KC-100 aircraft was applied at the second half of this year. The type certificate is expected to be issued after 3 years of design, prototype manufacturing, ground and flight tests. In this paper the system engineering process for civil aircraft was first reviewed. Next, the differences and similarities in the system development between military and civil aircraft were systematically examined using experiences for KAI military aircraft development program.

Gimpo International Airport is a strategically utilized airport based on government policy, but there are many residents living around the airport, so it is very sensitive to changes in airport operation. In the past, similar noise results were obtained for aircraft noise at Gimpo International Airport despite changes in aircraft types and an increase in the number of aircraft operating, and recently ICAO proposed a low-noise aircraft noise standard (Ch.14). Since the new standard has a noise reduction effect of up to 15dB compared to existing aircraft noise, ICAO and Europe EASA predict that future aircraft noise will be reduced if the latest technologies such as low-noise aircraft are applied. Therefore, this study establishes the aircraft operation performance and measured noise of Gimpo International Airport in 2022 as a baseline scenario, noise changes using various scenarios of introduction of low-noise aircraft, operation of mid-to-long-distance routes, and changes in future air traffic demand were analyzed using simulation.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that have been recently commercialized can largely be divided into fixed-wing aircraft and rotor aircraft by their styles and flight characteristics. Although the fixed-wing aircraft represents higher power efficiency, higher speed, longer flight distance and larger loading weight than the rotor aircraft, they have a disadvantage of requiring a space for take-off and landing. On the other hand, the rotor aircraft can implement vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and represents various flight modes (hovering, steep bank turns and low-speed flights). But they require both precision take-off control and attitude control. In this study, we used a quad-tilt rotor UAV to combine advantages in both the fixed-wing aircraft and the rotor aircraft. The quad-tilt rotor (QTR) system was designed and constructed by adding a tilt device with a servo motor to a general quad-rotor vehicle.

전기 추진 프로펠러 항공기는 기존의 제트엔진으로부터 나오는 유해한 배기가스로 인한 환경적 우려와 국가 에너지 안보 차원에서 새로운 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 전통적인 항공기 사이징 방법들은 여러 종류의 에너지원과 동력 시스템을 사용하는 전기 추진 항공기에 바로 적용될 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 일반화된 동력기반 사이징 기법에 기초한 전기 추진 항공기 사이징의 실제 예를 제시하였다. 여기서 일반 항공기는 프로펠러, 고온초전도모터, 수소가 연료로 사용되는 연료전지, 동력 조절 장치로 구성되는 전기 추진시스템에 의해 구동된다. 기술 향상의 영향을 평가하기 위해 전기 구성품들의 두 가지 다른 기술 구성을 가정하여 항공기 사이징을 수행하였고, 전형적인 형태의 기준 항공기와 사이징 결과를 비교하였다.

In the aeronautical environment, numerous regulatory and communication protocols exist that cover interconnection of on-board equipment inside the aircraft. Developed and implemented by the airlines since the 1960s, these communication systems are reliable, strong, certified and able to contact different sensors distributed throughout the aircraft. However, the scenario is slightly different in the structural health monitoring (SHM) field as the requirements and specifications that a global SHM communication system must fulfill are distinct. The number of SHM sensors installed in the aircraft rises into the thousands, and it is impossible to maintain all of the SHM sensors in operation simultaneously because the overall power consumption would be of thousands of Watts. This design of a new communication system must consider aspects as management of the electrical power supply, topology of the network for thousands of nodes, sampling frequency for SHM analysis, data rates, selected real-time considerations, and total cable weight. The goal of the research presented in this paper is to describe and present a possible integration scheme for the large number of SHM sensors installed on-board an aircraft with low power consumption. This paper presents a new communications system for SHM sensors known as the Bi-Instruction Link Bi-Operator (BILBO).
