During the conceptual design phase of a canard type high maneuverable aircraft, the low speed small scale wind tunnel test was conducted to investigate the high angle-of-attack static stability of the aircraft. In this study, 1/50th scale generic canard-body-wing model was used for the small scale wind tunnel test. For the analysis of static stability including high angle-of-attack nonlinear characteristics, the vertical tail effects were studied due to canard deflections. In addition, the nose chine effects were studied at high angle-of-attack. Based on the results obtained from the experimental study, the configuration change effects for canard type aircraft on high angle-of-attack static stability have been able to analyze.

항공기에 사용되는 2차 조종면은 플랩, 탭, 스포일러 등 여러 종류가 있으며 이중 spoiler는 공력제어 기능을 가지고 항공기의 조종성에 영향을 미치는 조종면으로 속도 감속이나 옆놀이 조종용으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 비행제어용 spoiler 기능과 고양항력을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 장치인 고양항력 panel에 대한 공력특성 및 비행제어 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 이러한 고양항력 panel은 재래식인 spoiler가 양력을 감소시키고 항력만 증가시키는 장치인데 반하여 양력과 항력을 동시에 증가 시킬 수 있는 새로운 장치로서 날개의 앞전 윗면에 스팬방향으로 설치하여 슬롯효과를 발생시킴으로써 최대 양력 받음각에서 앞전에서의 박리를 막아 비행기의 착륙시 양력의 급작스러운 감소로 인한 불안정성을 감소시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 직사각형 날개 및 FA-200모형의 날개위에 고양항력 panel을 설치하여 풍동실험 및 수치계산을 한 결과를 기술하였다. 실험결과 직사각형 날개의 경우 고양항력 panel의 위치는 날개의 앞전에 설치할 경우 고받음각에서 실속지연의 효과와 함께 후방실속의 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있으며, 항력의 증가로 인한 스포일러 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 양항비특성은 고양항력 panel을 날개의 앞전에설치하고, 그폭이 시위의 1/5이고, 붙임각 ${\theta}$가 $10^{\circ}$, 높이가 시위의 3/20일때 받음각 $18^{\circ}$ 이후에서 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. FA-200 모형의 경우 옆놀이 모멘트계수는 받음각이 작을 때 고양항력 panel의 슬롯간격과 붙임각이 작을수록 커지나 받음각이 커지면 붙임각이 커짐에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 키놀이 모멘트계수는 크게 변화하지 않으나 항력 특성은 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 큰 범위에서 (${\theta}$ =$10^{\circ}$) 공기력의 증가는 고양항력 panel의 시위가 날개시위의 30%이고 슬롯의 폭이 날개시위의 10%일때 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

항공기 운항 중 사고가 가장 많이 발생하는 순간이 이착륙 순간이다. 사고의 원인은 실속(Stall)으로 인한 조종성 상실, 버드 스트라이크 등의 이유들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 항공기 날개에 구멍을 내서 구조적인 변화를 통해 이 착륙 시에 가장 많이 적용되는 받음각인 $10^{\circ}$에서 흐름의 박리가 지연되고, 양항비가 상승되는 효과를 기대하고 $10^{\circ}$이외의 받음각에서 박리가 지연되는지 해석을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서의 최종적 목표는 곡선형태의 구조변화 형상과 이를 실제 항공기에 적용이 가능하도록 제작성과 경제성을 고려하여 단순화 하는 작업을 진행하고 곡선 형태와 같은 효과를 얻고자 해석을 진행하였다. 받음각 $10^{\circ}$에서 해석을 진행한 경우 모든 형상들이 흐름의 박리를 지연시키는 효과를 가져왔다.

An experimental study of the vortical flow characteristics around a yawed delta wing with the leading edge extension at high incidence angle is undertaken by upper surface pressure measurements. A special emphasis has been put on analyzing the basic physics of vortical flows, concerning the effects of incidence and sideslip angle on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, especially under high angle of attack. The experimental data has been dearly demonstrated the beneficial effect of the LEX vortex on the wing vortex. It leads to an essential stabilization of the wing vortex against its breakdown until at much higher incidence angle under small sideslip. An interesting flow feature is occurrence of the rolling moment reversal at a certain range of angle of attack and sideslip angle.

This paper deals with an acceleration controller design for a kill vehicle equipped with a divert and attitude control system (DACS). In the proposed method, the attitude control system (ACS) is used to produce the thrust command to nullify angle-of-attack. For the angle-of-attack control, a nonlinear angle-of-attack controller is proposed based on the feedback linearization methodology. Since the flight path angle is identical to the attitude angle under the condition of zero angle-of-attack, the divert control system (DCS) can directly produce the lateral acceleration which is demanded from the guidance loop. In the proposed method, we can minimize the aerodynamic uncertainty due to the propulsive force. Additionally, we can simplify the operation logic of DCS and ACS. In this paper, nonlinear simulations are performed to show the performance of the proposed method.

In this study, a cavity shape measurement experiment was conducted by changing the diameter and the angle of attack of a disk cavitator. Since the gravity effect is proportional to the cavity volume, the larger the cavity, the greater the effect. It is concluded that the gravity effect becomes smaller as the cavitation number decreases because of a short cavity maintaining time. The cavity centerline rises in case of the positive angle of attack and descends in case of the negative angle of attack. Since the effect of the angle of attack is inversely proportional to the square of the cavity radius, the effect of the angle of attack becomes dominant in the vicinity of the cavitator. It is judged that the horizontal section of the cavity centerline cannot be extended because the factors affecting the gravity effect and the angle of attack effect are different.

In Korea, the importance of marine activities is great, and automatic weather observation facilities are operating on land to investigate abnormal weather phenomena caused by industrialization; however, the number of facilities at sea is insufficient. Marine survey ships are operated to establish marine safety information, but there are many places where marine survey ships are difficult to access and operating costs are high. Therefore, a small, unmanned vessel capable of marine surveys must be developed. The sail has a significant impact on the sailing performance, so much research has been conducted. In this study, the camber effect, which is a design variable of the twin curvy sail known to have higher aerodynamic performance than existing airfoil shapes, was investigated. Flow analysis results for five cases with different camber sizes show that the lift coefficient is highest when the camber size is 9%. Curvy twin sails had the highest lift coefficient at an angle of attack of 23° because of the interaction of the port and starboard sails. The port sail had the highest lift coef icient at an angle of attack of 20°, and the starboard sail had the lowest lift coef icient at an angle of attack of 15°. In addition, the curvy twin sail had a higher lift coefficient than NACA 0018 at all angles of attack.

this study, three dimensional surface pressure distributions of SWIM whose main wing has NACA4412 airfoil with NACA0012 flaps were experimentally measured by pressure sensitive paint. Surface pressures on suction and pressure sides of the wing were measured by changing an angle of attack at a Reynolds number of 3.1x105 in KARI 1m subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental results showed that as an angle of attack increases minimum pressure region on a suction side moved from the wing root to the tip and low pressure region around trailing edge of the wing tip which causes wing tip vortex was observed. Although low pressure region at the tip still observed at an angle of attack 15 deg., other area on a suction side showed flat pressure distribution in a span-wise direction. It was also observed that the mean value of pressure coefficients was about 0.077 through a comparison between PSP and pressure taps at the same test conditions.

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics and behavior of a wing-tip vortex around a three-dimensional symmetric wing (NACA0015) in the vicinity of the ground. The aerodynamic characteristics and the wing-tip vortex change as a wing approaches the ground as a result of two different phenomena: the ground effect and the Venturi effect. The ground effect increases lift and decreases drag whereas the Venturi effect generates negative lift and increases drag suddenly. A symmetric airfoil experiences both phenomena with respect to changes in the angle of attack. In the case of a NACA0015 airfoil, the Venturi effect is dominant at small angles of attack but the ground effect is dominant at large angles of attack. Interestingly, both phenomena can be observed at the 4 degree of angle of attack. The vortex core moves inside a wing when the wing experiences the Venturi effect, whereas the vortex core moves outward when the wing experiences the ground effect.

In this study, we develop a prediction method of cavity shape taking gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator into consideration simultaneously. Logvinovich's theoretical formulas are superimposed to predict the change of cavity centerline due to both gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator. It is found that as the angle of attack of cavitator increases, the gravity effect is weakened due to decrease in cavity volume, and even in case of the same angle of attack, cavity shape changes in different ways depending on whether the angle of attack of cavitator is positive or negative. We conclude that cavity shapes are largely affected by the angle of attack of cavitator, and the gravity effect and angle of attack of cavitator should be considered at the same time for the prediction of cavity shape.
