최근 5년간 발생한 국적 항공기 사고 23건 중 헬기사고가 16건으로 전체 항공사고의 70%를 차지한다. 현재 국내에서 고정익 항공기 549대, 회전익 항공기 186대가 각각 운영(군 경찰 보유헬기 제외)되고 있음을 감안하면 회전익 항공기 사고가 훨씬 높은 편이며, 고정익 항공기 가동시간에 비하여 가동률이 매우 낮은 회전익 항공기를 고려하면 비행시간당 항공기 사고 비율은 회전익 항공기가 월등하게 높은 편이다. 또한 고정익 항공기의 평균기령은 10.9년인데 비하여 산림항공본부를 비롯한 헬기운영업체에서 운영 중인 회전익 항공기의 평균기령은 18.9년으로 회전익 항공기가 전체적으로 노후화 되어 있으나, 국적항공사에 운영 중인 노후 항공기 관리프로그램을 회전익 항공기 운영사에서는 운영하지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 노후 항공기 운영현황을 검토하여 노후 회전익 항공기 운영기준을 수립하고 노후 회전익 항공기의 정비프로그램을 정립하여 회전익 항공기의 지속감항성을 확보할 수 있는 방안과 수명주기 설정을 마련하고자 한다.

항공기 사고발생시 사고조사가 착수도 되지 않은 상태에서 노후 항공기를 사고원인으로 추정하여 보도하는 사례들이 발생되고 있다. 이러한 보도형태는 항공기 정비방식의 이해부족과 항공기 노후화와 사고의 연관성에 대한 연구의 부재로 나타나는 현상으로 볼 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 철도 항공사고조사위원회에서 사고조사가 완료된 조사보고서를 분석하여 노후 항공기가 항공사고에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다.

In this study, as a part of the aging aircraft performance improvement project for which no design information is provided, a new type of blade antenna is installed on the main part of the aging aircraft, and the method of proving the fatigue life of the main part of the aircraft is reviewed and summarized. There are various methods to prove fatigue life according to the manufacturer and aircraft design conditions. The fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance range of the relevant site were obtained through related regulations and industry examples. From these results, the fatigue life of newly installed antennas around the main parts of the aging aircraft was evaluated and the maintenance period and criteria were set according to the damage tolerance.

As it takes a lot of time and money to develop an aircraft, an environment for renovating and using existing operating aircraft has been created. As a result, many old aircraft were renovated, and due to the aging of the aircraft, more demanding cable requirements were required for renovation projects, and as the number of equipment inside the aircraft gradually increased, the difficulty of system integration increased. In order to solve the difficulties of system integration through systematization of verification procedures, this paper explains VSWR, I-loss, which are the main indicators of antenna cable modification, and explains DTF, one of the problem detection methods. It also explains the elements required for cable design, the environment to be measured, and procedures, and introduces the overall process and effect of antenna cable improvement through demonstration cases.

In this study, we performed a design and structural analysis of a blade-shaped antenna installation on the rear fuselage of a rotary wing aircraft operated by the military. When the structure is damaged while the aircraft is in operation, it is separated from the aircraft main structure and may collide with the rotor or blades to cause the aircraft to crash. Therefore, structural safety for the modified structure must be secured. The design requirement for the newly installed modified part were established, and the load condition was constructed by applying the load that may occur in the aircraft after the modification. Structure safety for the modified structure was secured by performing structure analysis. To analysis stress and deformation of aircraft structure, we developed finite element model and verified it by using hand calculation method. We confirmed the safety of the modified structure through the final structural integrity analysis.

In this study, based on P-3CK project using aging aircraft without any design information, the structural assessments of fastener holes to repair the short edge distance defects are investigated. For this purpose, the nacelle longeron which has many defects is selected and then conservative stress is calculated by performing the static analysis of 1.5ED, 1.8ED, 2.0ED defects of longeron fastener holes. This result applies to TWIST standard load spectrum to generate flight load spectrum. Then the crack growth analysis is performed by using flight load spectrum. Through this, the validity of a repaired fastener hole is evaluated. Finally, the standard of repair and the period of maintenance for a defected fastener hole are established.

전 세계적으로 항공기의 노후화에 따른 안전성 확보와 수명연장을 위한 대책 연구가 활발하다. 미국의 경우 군용기 (주로 수송기)의 평균수명은 40년을 넘어서고 있으며 이들은 아직도 $20{\sim}30년$ 더 사용될 예정이다. 민간항공기의 경우에도 군용기만큼은 아니지만 노후화하고 있기는 마찬가지이다. 수명연장을 위해 여러가지 비파괴검사 기술이 활용되고 있으며, 새로운 비파괴 시험 평가 검사 방법들이 속속 개발되고 있다. 항공기의 안전을 위협하는 기체구조 손상의 2대 주범으로는 부식과 피로를 꼽을 수 있으며, 이를 탐지하고 평가하기 위한 경제적인 검사방법에 대한 연구가 미국을 중심으로 활발하게 진행되고 있는데, 이에 대한 최근 현황을 살펴본다.

During the operation of military aircraft, maintenance is divided into organizational, intermediate and depot maintenance. In the depot maintenance, after removal of major parts and removable doors, damage assessment is performed. Locating damage, charactering the damage and determining its extent, zoning the damage on the part being repaired and re-evaluation of the damaged area after damage removal. Repair joints are classified by bonded joints and bolted joints, depending on joining material. In this paper, repair method in aging aircraft is investigated and the possibility of application of copmposite patch is surveyed.

One of the hot issues in composite patching is to reduce the thermal residual stresses between composite patch and aluminum surface which occurs after bonding of composite patch. In this study, the edge crack patching is adopted for different curing cycles. For the analysis, three layer Mindlin plate elements are used, and Paris' law is adopted to predict the fatigue life of composite patch plate. The analysis results show a good agreement with the experimental fatigue life and this technique can be applied for the prediction of fatigue life of aircraft structures.

This paper proposed an application of agile management method to resolve the electrical system issues identified during the mass production phase of aged aircraft performance improvement. The proposed method was applied from issue analysis to on-site verification and testing stage, before the formal configuration control process. At this time, the project was carried out by setting a sprint period to complete the verification according to requirements through daily scrum and sprint review. As a result, It was verified that the wiring installation of the aircraft, which was the output of the sprint, met requirements within the defined sprint period.
