  • The hot gas reingestion phenomenon of helicopter brings about the reduction of engine power available around in-ground. The phenomenon will vary for the conditions of ambient conditions and engine exhaust gas, the flow field associated with the downwash effect of main rotor. To verify the amount of hot gas reingestion to intake, Tests(Wind tunnel test, Flight test) or CFD could be available. At this study, the reingestion around in-ground would be predicted by numerical analysis(CFD).

  • High Altitude and Long Endurance (HALE) aircraft are capable of providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities over vast geographic areas when equipped with advanced sensor packages. As their use becomes more widespread, the demand for additional range, endurance and payload capability will increase and designers are exploring non-conventional configurations to meet the increasing demands. One such configuration is the joined-wing concept. A joined-wing aircraft is one that typically connects a front and aft wings in a diamond shaped planform. One such example is the Boeing SensorCraft configuration. While the joined-wing configuration offers potential benefits regarding aerodynamic efficiency, structural weight, and sensing capabilities, structural design requires careful consideration of elastic buckling resulting from the aft wing supporting, in compression, part of the forward wing structural loading. It has been shown already that this is a nonlinear phenomenon, involving geometric nonlinearities and follower forces that tend to flatten the entire configuration, leading to structural overload due to the loss of the aft wing's ability to support the forward wing load. Severe gusts are likely to be the critical design condition, with flight control system interaction in the form of Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) playing a key role in minimizing the structural loads. The University of Victoria Center for Aerospace Research (UVic-CfAR) has built a 3-meter span scaled and flexible wing UAV based on the Boeing SensorCraft design. The goal is to validate the nonlinear structural behavior in flight. The main objective of this research work is to perform Ground Vibration Tests (GVT) to characterize the dynamic properties of the scaled flight vehicle. Results from the experimental tests are used to characterize the modal dynamics of the aircraft, and to validate the numerical models. The GVT results are an important step towards a safe flight test program.

  • Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), in collaboration with the NASA Goddard Sparce Flight Center (GSFC), will develop a next generation coronagraph for the International Space Station (ISS). COronal Diagnostic EXperiment (CODEX) uses multiple filters to obtain simultaneous measurements of electron density, temperature, and velocity within a single instrument. CODEX's regular, systematic, comprehensive dataset will test theories of solar wind acceleration and source, as well as serve to validate and enable improvement of space-weather/operational models in the crucial source region of the solar wind. CODEX subsystems include the coronagraph, pointing system, command and data handling (C&DH) electronics, and power distribution unit. CODEX is integrated onto a standard interface which provides power and communication. All full resolution images are telemeters to the ground, where data from multiple images and sequences are co-added, spatially binned, and ratioed as needed for analysis.

  • The pivoting composite wing is developed for the kit to be mounted on the external stores. The wing has a pivoting structure for the installation to an aircraft and high aspect ratio to increase lift drag ratio. The wing needs to be light and have sufficient strength and stiffness to satisfy structural design requirements. The wing is designed with carbon fiber composite and the structural parts are integrated to reduce cost to manufacture. In order to verify the structural performances, the design load analysis and flight load survey, the static analysis and test, the ground vibration test and flutter analysis are performed. It is shown that the wing has sufficient structural strength and stiffness to satisfy the structural design requirements.

  • In satellite operations, stable maneuvering of a satellite's onboard antenna to prevent undesirable vibrations to the satellite body is required for high-quality high-resolution images. For this reason, the onboard antenna's angular rate is typically minimized while still satisfying the system requirement that limits the speed of the onboard antenna. In this study, a simple yet effective method, called the ground station searching method, is proposed to reduce the angular rate of a satellite's onboard antenna. The performance of the proposed method is tested using real flight data from the KOMPSAT-3 satellite. Approximately 83% of arbitrarily selected real flight scenarios from 66 test cases show reductions in the onboard antenna's azimuth angular rates. Additionally, reliable solutions were consistently obtained within a reasonably acceptable computation time while generating an onboard antenna tracking profile. The obtained results indicate that the proposed method can be used in real satellite operations and can reduce the operational loads on a ground operator. Although the current work only considers the KOMPSAT-3 satellite as a test case, the proposed method can be easily modified and applied to other satellites that have similar operational characteristics.

  • A dynamic load simulator which can reproduce on-ground the hinge moment of aircraft control surface is and essential rig for the loaded performance test of aircraft test of aircraft acutation system. The hinge moment varies wide in the aricraft flight enveloped depending on specific flight condition and maneuvering status. To replicate the wide spectrum of this hinge moment variation within some accuracy bounds, a force controller is designed based on the Quantiative Feedback Theory (AFT). Through the analysis on hinge moment dynamics, a design specification for the force controller is suggested. The efficacy of QFT force controller is verivied by simulation, in which combined aricraft dynamics/flight control law and hydraulic actuation system dynamics of aircraft control surface are considered.

  • 큐브위성 비행 소프트웨어 개발과정에서 큐브위성과 지상국간 데이터 송수신 시험이 필요한데 지상국 구축 비용과 공간성 등을 고려해 야외용 안테나를 사용하지 않는 실내용 지상국이 적합하다. 실내용 지상국 구축시 송신 출력이 높으면 큐브위성 통신시스템의 고장을 유발할 수 있음으로 지상국의 송신 출력이 큐브위성 통신시스템의 수신 허용범위 안에 있도록 설계하고, 이를 검증해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 UHF 및 VHF 주파수를 사용하는 큐브위성과의 데이터 송수신을 위한 실내용 지상국 구축에 대해 기술한다. 특히, 송신 출력을 저감하기 위한 방법으로 감쇄기를 사용하였는데, 송신단에 감쇄기를 연결하여 송신 출력과 감쇄기 수에 따른 감쇄 정도를 측정하고 이의 결과를 분석하여 기술하였다.

  • 생산 초기의 초음속 항공기는 블리드 에어 덕트에 존재하는 생산용 자재의 부가 물질이 가열될 경우 조종실에 타는 냄새와 유사한 비정상적인 냄새가 조종실로 유입된다. 조종사가 이와 같은 냄새를 엔진의 화재와 같은 비상 상황으로 오인하는 것을 방지하기 위해 비정상적인 냄새의 원인 물질은 시험 비행 전에 burn-in test를 통해 제거되어야 한다. 그러나, 현재의 절차의 최고 온도보다 고고도 비행의 최고 온도가 더 높기 때문에 냄새를 완벽히 제거 할 수 없다. 본 논문은 고고도 비행의 열적 상황을 분석하여 개선된 burn-in test 절차를 제시한다. 비연속적인 유량 조절, 단위 시간당 높은 온도 변화율, 응축기와 터빈의 한계 온도 차이 때문에 현재의 절차로는 고고도 조건을 모사하지 못하는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 램에어 입구 제어를 통해 연속적 유량 조절이 가능한 burn-in test 절차를 제시하였다. 제시된 방법을 통해 블리드 에어 온도가 지상에서 고고도 비행 조건 이상임을 확인하였으며, 비행 시험을 통해 비정상적인 냄새를 제거할 수 있음을 검증했다.
