Abstract

Airframe structure development of the 35 kg class 'Disaster and Public Safety Multicopter' UAV is described in this paper. To reduce the airframe weight, T-700 grade CFRP composite material was used, and the fuselage was designed with the semi-monocoque structure and plate installed with the control and communication devices designed in a sandwich structure. The specimen tests for the laminated plate and pipe were conducted to verify the strength and stiffness of the designed parts. The stacking sequence of composite materials was determined by the static strength and vibration analysis, and landing gear strut was designed by the nonlinear analysis with decent speed and ground clearance requirements. The static strength test was performed to evaluate the structural integrity and to verify the landing gear behavior.

본 논문에서는 35 kg급 재난치안용 멀티콥터 무인기의 기체구조 개발에 대해 기술한다. 경량화를 위해 구조재료는 T-700급 탄소 복합재료를 사용하였으며, 동체는 세미 모노코크 구조로, 제어 및 통신장비가 장착되는 판재는 샌드위치 구조로 설계하였다. 설계된 부품과 동일한 적층판과 파이프를 제작하고 시편시험을 수행하여 강도와 강성을 확인하였다. 정적강도 및 진동 해석을 수행하여 복합재료 적층순서를 결정하였고, 착륙속도 및 지상이격 요구조건과 비선형 해석을 통해 착륙장치 스트러트의 적층순서를 결정하였다. 정적강도시험을 통해 구조 건전성을 평가하고 착륙장치의 거동을 확인하였다.
