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.

The main purpose of this study is to obtain linear models for the design of automatic flight controller in order to operate the Light Sport Aircraft as unmanned air vehicle. Flight test equipments installed on the aircraft to acquire flight test data are described and maneuvers for practical speed calibration are introduced. Parameters for the linear models of lateral and longitudinal motion are estimated by the Output error method as well as trim data analysis using the flight test data. Simulated data using the estimated parameters is shown to agree well with the measurement data. Estimated parameters obtained for several flight conditions can be used to improve the aerodynamic database of the simulation program.

This paper describes the development or a closed-loop Strapdown Attitude Reference System (SARS) algorithm integrated filtering estimator for determining attitude reference for railway and aviation system using fuzzy inference. The SARS consists of 3 single-axis rate gyms in conjunction with 2 single-axis accelerometers. For optimal values of fuzzy systems, we utilize on-line scheduling method for initial values and then use genetic algorithms for fine tuning. Implementation using experimental test data of unmanned aerial vehicle has been performed in order to verify the estimation. The proposed fuzzy inference based SARS demonstrate that more accurate performance can be achieved in comparison with conventional one. The estimation results were compared with the on-board vertical gyro as the reference standard.

In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the high temperature results from friction with the air, combustion of fuel and combustion gas of a nozzle etc. It causes serious problems in the UAV structure. The characteristic analysis of heat resistant metal and ceramic materials and creep analysis for the functionally graded material (FGM) is presented in this paper. FGM is composed of two constituent materials that are mixed up according to the specific volume fraction distribution in order to withstand high heat condition. In addition, the creep behavior of FGM applied in duct structure of an engine is analyzed.

An application of adaptive flight controller is required for the non-linear and high uncertain system that configuration of tiltrotor aircraft is dramatically changed from rotary wing mode to fixed wing mode. In this paper, the applicable adaptive controller for the tiltrotor aircraft was designed using Neural Networks and DMI (Dynamic Model Inversion). The performance of the SCAS (Stability and Control Augmentation System) was simulated against manned military specification, using the fullscale model of 'Smart UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)' developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. And Neural Networks based adaptive controller was verified through its whole operating envelope using the established HQ (Handling Quality) criteria.

To reduce the structural weight, thin-walled circular composite tube has been used as a main spar of high altitude-long endurance unmanned air vehicle(HALE UAV). Predicting the torsional response of stiffened circular spar is complex due to the inhomogeneous nature of section properties, which are dependent on fiber architecture and constituent material properties. The stiffener were placed in the top and bottom sectors of a tube to increase the torsional capabilities such as the rigidity and buckling strength. Numerical simulations were performed to estimate the effect of the stiffener on the torsional capacities. A static experimental test was performed on a stiffened tube, and the test results were compared with a numerical model. The numerical models showed good correlation and demonstrated the ability to predict the torsional capacity. Results presented herein will exhibit the effectiveness of stiffener on torsional strength and stiffness.

Satellite and aerial remote sensing (RS) techniques have been provided to collect spatial data globally over the last few decades. However in developing countries such as China, there is still an urgent need for low cost and high resolution RS data. As an emerging RS platform, commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) integrated with state-of-the-art sensors and information technologies has the potential to become a low cost tool to meet application demands. In this paper, the architecture of UAV RS operation system is mentioned. Moreover, key technologies in UAV RS system are analyzed and current work is reported.

A compound drone that combines a fixed wing and a rotary wing is an aircraft that can take off and landing vertically, and can increase flight time and fly faster with fixed wings. The compound drones are divided into many types depending on the method of adding the thrust vectoring or the lift fan and the position of the rotor. In this study, we designed and fabricated a composite drone with four V-TOL motors in a fixed-wing, and assigned missions to the aviation body, hence judged mission accuracy using the actual flight test. The design process and the mission evaluation process employed in this study can be utilized on the development of various unmanned aerial vehicle.

The Korea market for LUAV (Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) weighing less than 150 kg is growing rapidly. As a result, the market for manufacturing and operating LUAV is expanding, and domestic development of parts and finished products is actively taking place. However, the flight control system and onboard software, which are key components of domestic LUAV, are largely dependent on overseas products due to the excessive cost and period required for development. This paper presented a domestic software development and certification procedure using DO-178C, a guideline for aircraft software development, and the Model-based Development method, and conducted a survey of those involved in the development, manufacturing, and certification of LUAV and analyzed the results. In addition, a case study was conducted to apply the software development plan to the helicopter FCC (Flight Control Computer).

In this paper, we propose a case that drone (unmanned aerial vehicle), one of the representative technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, threatens airport safety and privacy infringement, and describes a drone control system proposal to solve the problem. Unmanned aerial vehicle (Drone) is creating a serious problem recently, In Korea, on May 21, 19, according to the Jeju Regional Aviation Administration, drones flew over Jeju Jeongseok Airfield twice in the same month, causing problems in aircraft operation. In overseas cases, two drones near the runway of Gatwick International Airport in the UK There has been a disturbance in which the takeoff and landing of the aircraft flies for a while, and various problems have occurred, such as voyeuring the private life of an individual using a drone. This paper is equipped with an Acess Point transponder mounted on a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle), and unspecified many who want to receive flight information (coordinates, altitude, and obstacles) of the drone access the drone AP, receive and receive the flight information of the drone, and receive unspecified multiple Drone AP flight information is collected and collected to provide the information of the drone currently floating on one user interface screen. In addition, an AP transponder is proposed to operate a safe drone (unmanned aerial vehicle) and the drone's flight information is transmitted., To receive and collect and collect data.
