  • The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has proposed new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft known as the Jet-VTOL aircraft shown in Fig.1. The Jet-VTOL aircraft is based on a canard wing configuration. The aircraft has the clustered lift-fans mounted near the center of gravity for vertical flight, and has the clustered fans mounted beside the vertical tail for cruise flight. Both fans are driven by the core engine mounted inside the aft end of fuselage. The propulsion system is innovative and attractive not to be seen even in the world.

  • Experiments and numerical calculations were conducted on the flow field of a model ejector ramjet configuration to investigate fundamental fluid dynamic aspects of its pumping and mixing effects. Also a one-dimensional flight performance analysis program was constructed with a simple ejector modeling. After comparing the model with some of the previous experimental and numerical results, a flight performance analysis was conducted with the program. The present states of the program and some features to be improved are presented.

  • First this paper introduces an advanced FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electric Control) for current and future jet engines.It is designed to realize not only stable thrust control, but also performance improvement, reliability enhancement, service life extension, etc. It can be built by using current micro-processor with high computational power and there exists no difficulties but reliability problem of the micro- processor. Next, the simulation results of SFC minimization control are shown. The target engine is a supersonic, low-bypass ratio, 2-spool, combined cycle turbofan, designated as HYPR90T, which consists of a turbo engine for under Mach 3 flight and a ram engine for over Mach 3 flight. he results can then be used for performance optimization of the engine, which plays important role in the advanced FADEC.

  • The pulse detonation engine (PDE) has recently expected as a new aerospace propulsion system. The PDE system has high thermal efficiency because of its constant-volume combustion and its simple tube structure. We measured thrust of single-tube pulse detonation rocket (PDR) by two methods using the PDR-Engineering Model (full scale model) for ground testing. The first involved measuring the displacement of the PDR-EM by laser displacement meter, and the second involved measuring the time-averaged thrust by combining a load cell and a spring-damper system. From these two measurements, we obtained 130.1 N of time-averaged thrust, which corresponds to 321.2 sec of effective specific impulse (ISP). As well, we measured the heat flux in the wall of PDE tubes. The heat flux was approximately 400 ㎾/$m^2$. We constructed the PDR-Flight Mode] (PDR-FM). In the vertical flight test in a laboratory, the PDR-FM was flying and keeping its altitude almost constant during 0.3 sec.

  • When a body falls in fluid, the body often experiences autorotations, namely, various kind of rotating motions, such as tumbling, flat spin and coming. Tumbling is a rotating motion with an axis perpendicular to a falling direction. Tumbling is a very important phenomenon in aeronautical and space engineering, ballistics and meteorology. For example, when an satellite re-en-tries into the atomosphere, its body collapses into many fragments which are disperse in the wide range of field. Some fragments fall in tumbling motion. Then tumbling is useful to predict fragment's motion.(omitted)

  • This paper introduces general applications of vehicle's dynamic pressure information which is estimated during the flight. And a method to estimate the dynamic pressure for a high speed vehicle is suggested to sustain reliability of the flight under a high estimation accuracy of the information. The presented method is straightforward with simple relations of the compressible flow but is a still merited idea employed for the high speed vehicle control scheme with great accuracy.

  • An extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm for estimating aerodynamic parameters from missile flight data is evaluated using simulated test data. The algorithm includes a general purpose 6-DOF missile airframe suitable for representing a variety of missile configurations. The EKF is demonstrated to be well suited as a postflight analysis tool for extracting large numbers of airframe parameters from flight test measurements. A structure identification algorithm is evaluated using synthetic measurement data. This algorithm used in conjunction with the parameter identification algorithm, can select that model from a family of candidate models which most likely produced the synthetic measurement data.

  • This paper presents a design of a multi-sensor data fusion filter for a Flight Test System. The multi-sensor data consist of positional information of the target from radars and a telemetry system. The data fusion filter has a structure of a federated Kalman filter and is based on the Singer dynamic target model. It consists of dedicated local filter for each sensor, generally operating in parallel, plus a master fusion filter. A fault detection and correction algorithms are included in the local filter for treating bad measurements and sensor faults. The data fusion is carried out in the fusion filter by using maximum likelihood estimation algorithm. The performance of the designed fusion filter is verified by using both simulation data and real data.
