  • A robust controller is proposed to design a flight autopilot for lateral motion control. The control system has two control loops in order to meet the performance and to maintain the stability-robustness for a nonsquare flight system with uncertain aerodynamic variations and disturbance. One is designed via linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery(LQG/LTR) design methodology for the inner loop. The other is designed via proportional controller design method for the outer loop. To show the effectiveness of this control system, it is compared with the LQG/LTR control system for a square flight system and is analyzed for the performance/stability-robustness to model uncertainties and disturbance via wind gusts. It is found that the proposed control system has good heading command-following performance under allowable sideslip angle in spite of model uncertainties and disturbance.

  • In this study, the performance analysis method for ramjet engine system with atmospheric air disturbance was proposed. Flight path was determined to satisfy dynamic pressure constant at each flight altitude. The atmospheric air disturbance incoming into a engine intake was simulated by the model Tank proposed. The performance parameters was investigated at each flight condition with air disturbance. Engine operation stability was evaluated as analysis of the normal shock position.

  • It is important to visualize a lesion accurately in diagnosis of disease. Many diseases result in a change of lesion. Magnetic resonance angiography can visualize the morphological characteristics of blood vessel. The magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be categorized to time-of-flight, phase contrast, and contrast enhanced MRA. In this paper, we introduce a principle, sequence, and feature of angiography For better image quality we describe data processing methods and show several applications to human bodies

  • A flow passage opening device utilizing an acceleration follow-up technique allows fuel to flow continuously through a pressurized fuel tank system. It is very difficult to test the device in a real flight situation because of severe test condition and a cost problem. In this paper, therefore, the results of a basic negative g test conducted by low-speed airplane are compared with RecurDyn simulation. Dynamic behavior of the device in total flight profile of a high-speed vehicle is also analyzed by using RecurDyn to predict its performance.

  • Insect flight is adapted to cope with each circumstance by controlling a variety of the parameters of wing motion in nature. Many researchers have struggled to solve the fundamental concept of insect flight, but it has not been solved yet clearly. In this study, to find the most effective flapping wing dynamics, we conducted to analyze CFD data on fixing some of the optimal parameters of wing motion such as stoke amplitude, flip duration and wing rotation type and then controlled the deviation angle by fabricating wing tip motion. Although all patterns have the similar value of lift coefficient and drag coefficient, pattern A(pear-shape type) indicates the highest lift coefficient and pattern H(pear-shape type) has the lowest lift coefficient among four wing tip motions and three deviation angles. This result suggest that the lift and drag coefficient depends on the angle of attack and the deviation angle combined, and it could be explained by delayed stall and wake capture effect.

  • The Smart UAV must have the control characteristics of propulsion system necessary for both rotary aircraft and fixed wing aircraft though it equips turbo-shaft engine. To develop an electronic engine controller in the future, it is necessary to accumulate the experience of engine operation and data of tilt rotor aircraft. For this purpose, the computer programs which predict engine performance in the steady state and transient state can be utilized for the supplementation of flight test data. In this work, we developed a dynamic analysis program using engine performance data gathered during the flight tests. In addition the accuracy of the program was verified through comparison with flight test data and the results of steady-state performance analysis program.

  • In this study, the design method of a 155 mm Solid Fuel Ramjet projectile is proposed and a flight performance analysis program through mathematical modelling is developed. Through flight performance analysis, ramjet performance during flight, which is comprised of thrust, specific impulse, pressure recovery ratio, location of shock waves, and magnitude of drag, was predicted. The results show that compared to Rocket Assisted Projectile(RAP), the range was increased by 90 %. Furthermore, how variations in nozzle exit area ratio and the intake area cause variations in range was observed. This research on modeling and simulation methodology will provide useful data for future development of solid fuel ramjet projectiles.

  • This paper deals with the controller design of the flight control system using the model reference adaptive control approach. The structure of the adaptive control system is based on the structure suggested by NARENDRA and VALAVANI. In particular, the problem is considered in case of the relative degree n=2 of plant. The flight control system is single-input single-output system, and the control input is given from the input-output data of the referencemodel and plant. For the analysis of the designed control system, thesimulation is perfarmed in cases of analog plant and analog plant with flight motion table, and reviewed.

  • Calculation program to predict required pressurant mass for propellant tank was verified through flight test data. This program was already developed and verified through ground test data, but to increase reliability of program, it was compared with flight test data of KSR-III launched in 2002. Because pressurant temperature incoming to propellant tank was not measured in flight test, that was assumed in calculation program. Required pressurant mass and inside temperature of oxygen tank dome was compared. Validation of calculation program was verified by showing required pressurant mass accuracy of 6%.
