Securing excellent pilots is not only directly linked to the military's improved combat capabilities, but also a way to minimize human and property losses from aircraft accidents. Therefore, a scientific method is needed to diagnose pilot aptitude from the pilot selection process and select those with high accident potential, those who are dropped out of the flight training process, and those who are not suitable for pilot life in advance. Developed countries have implemented pilot aptitude tests to solve these problems early on, but so far, the Korean Army has not introduced a pilot aptitude test system that uses diagnostic tools in the helicopter pilot selection process. Therefore, in this study, scientific diagnostic tools are developed for selecting helicopter pilots, and through this, it is predicted that the number of people who are likely to be dropped out of the training course and who have the potential for accidents will be selected in advance and eliminated in the selection process. In this context, prior research examined the key factors involved in the pilot aptitude test. Through this, the aptitude test items were developed and aptitude tests were conducted on student pilots currently in flight training, and the results of flight training were analyzed.

Euclid is an optical/near-infrared survey mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity by observing the geometry of the Universe and the formation of structures over cosmological timescales. The Euclid spacecraft mechanical architecture comprises the Payload Module (PLM) and the Service Module (SVM) connected by an interface structure designed to maximize thermal and mechanical decoupling. This paper shortly illustrates the mechanical system of the spacecraft and the mechanical verification philosophy which is based on the Structural and Thermal Model (STM), built at flight standard for structure and thermal qualification and the Proto Flight Model (PFM), used to complete the qualification programme. It will be submitted to a proto-flight test approach and it will be suitable for launch and flight operations. Within the overall verification approach crucial mechanical tests have been successfully performed (2018) on the SVM platform and on the sunshield (SSH) subsystem: the SVM platform static test, the SSH structure modal survey test and the SSH sine vibration qualification test. The paper reports the objectives and the main results of these tests.

When the aircraft is developed, several flight tests are performed including stability and controllability, performance and systems, above all the most important part of the flight test is stability test. Stability test is divided into two parts, static stability and dynamic stability. Static stability of the aircraft is typically defined in terms of its initial tendency to return to equilibrium after a disturbance and not included time concept. One of static stability, longitudinal static stability, was addressed here. The longitudinal static stability was studied from the basic theory to the flight test method and also explained data reduction method throughout the flight test. Finally showed how to meet the specifications such as ROC, FAR and MIL-specifications.

The dynamic characteristics of flight sensors is obtained by a simple method that deploys a pendulum with a rotary encoder. The encoder output is used with kinematic relations to derive reference signals for various flight sensors, including position, velocity, attitude, and angular rate sensors as well as accelerometer and magnetic sensors. A time delay of 0.4 seconds is found in the position output of the flight sensor under investigation. A logic to compensate for the time delay using a velocity information is proposed and validated in flight tests.

FAA AC120-40B Level D flight dynamics model for T-50 Full Mission Trainer was successfully developed. Since AC120-40B Level D requires the quantitative validation tests for simulation model compared with flight test data, T-50 flight test data for each validation test item was gathered, and also automatic test environments which include AFT (Automatic Fidelity Tester) and STA (Simulation Test Analyzer) were developed. The final test results after the iterative test-tuning processes were all within the tolerances specified in AC120-40B Level D. Qualification Test Guide, QTG contains the detail test processes and results.

This paper presents an automatic target tracking flight system using a PID controller based on velocity command of a multirotor UAV. The automatic flight system includes marker based onboard target detection and an automatic velocity command generation replacing manual controller. A quad-rotor UAV is equipped with a camera and an image processing computer to detect the marker in real time and to estimate the relative distance from the target. The marker tracking system consists of PID controller and generates velocity command based on the relative distance. The generated velocity command is used as the input of the UAV's original flight controller. The operation of the proposed system was verified through actual flight tests using a marker on top of a moving vehicle and tracks it to successfully demonstrate its capability using a quad-rotor UAV.

태풍 등과 같은 강풍에 의한 비산물로부터 구조물과 인명의 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속을 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 강풍 시 비산물의 비행시작 풍속을 예측하기 위한 방법과 예측에 필요한 데이터를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 힘의 평형방정식으로부터 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속 예측식을 제시하였다. 또한 예측식에 필요한 공기력계수를 산출하기 위해 풍동실험을 수행하여 비산물의 길이와 높이의 비에 따른 공기력계수를 측정하고, 아울러 비율에 따른 공기력계수를 계산할 수 있는 경험식을 제시하였다. 예측 비행 시작 풍속을 검증하기 위해 풍동에서 자유비산 실험을 수행하여 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속을 측정하였다. 비산물의 길이와 두께의 비가 10 미만인 경우에는 주로 미끄러짐에 의해 비행이 시작되었고, 10 이상인 경우에는 주로 전도에 의해 비행이 시작되는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 비행 시작 풍속은 예측 풍속과 전반적으로 일치하나 약 20~30 % 낮았다. 이는 도류판 표면의 경계층 흐름 및 시험체의 변형 등이 원인으로 추정되며, 향후 예측 정확도를 높이기 위한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

Aerial spraying technology using a small unmanned helicopter is an efficient and practical tool to achieve stable agricultural production to improve the working condition. An attitude controller for the agricultural helicopter would be helpful to aerial application operator. In order to construct the flight controller, a state space model of the helicopter should be identified using a dynamic analysis program, such as CIFER$^{(R)}$. To obtain the state space a model of the helicopter, frequency-sweep flight tests were performed and time history data were acquired using a custom-built stick position transmitter. Four elements of stick commands were accessed for the collective pitch (heave), aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), rudder (yaw) maneuvers. The test results showed that rudder stick position signal was highly linear with rudder input channel signal of the receiver; however, collective pitch stick position signal was exponentially manipulated for the convenience of control stick handling. The acquired stick position and flight dynamic data during sweep tests would be analyzed in the followed study.

항공기를 개발함에 있어 기체를 구성하는 계통의 성능이 항공기 요구도를 만족하는 수준으로 발휘되는지 확인하는 것이 중요하다. 특히, 엔진을 포함한 추진계통은 항공기를 구성하는 구성품 중 중요한 계통으로서, 추진계통과 기체와의 통합성을 검증하는 것이 항공기 개발에 있어 필수적 요소이다. T-50 고등훈련기 체계개발 시 추진계통 검증을 위해 엔진 공중재시동 시험 및 엔진 축마력 시험, backup throttle기능 시험 등의 다양한 비행시험을 수행하였으며, 이와 같은 항목의 비행시험을 통하여 T-50 고등 훈련기의 추진계통이 기체에 적합하게 설계/장착되었음을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 추진계통 비행시험 항목에 대한 설명 및 시험 절차, 결과를 제시하였으며, 본 논문의 내용이 차후 타 항공기 개발 시 추진계통 관련 비행시험을 준비하는 과정에서 참고가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
