This paper aims to establish a reconfigurable flight simulation environment to conduct safety evaluation of various electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Since the inceptor, aircraft dynamics model, and controller applied to each eVTOL aircraft are different, it was configured to be variable so that a simulation can be executed for each eVTOL aircraft. Test elements and performance indicators were set to perform safety evaluation of eVTOL aircraft. Ground auxiliary equipments were designed and implemented in a simulation environment according to test procedures for each test element. In addition, to analyze safety performance, a simulation flight data collection environment based on MATLAB/Simulink and a tool for safety performance analysis were implemented. Test flight and analysis were conducted in the implemented simulation environment in this paper. Finally, this study shows the environment was verified by confirming that it was performed normally.

Flight and Qualification Models of Single Board Computer (SBC), called On-Board Computer (OBC), for HAUSAT-l picosatellite, which is scheduled to launch on September, 2004 by Russian "Dnepr" launch vehicle, have been developed. The OBC of HAUSAT-1 has been designed with some improved features compared to other picosatellites. A multifunctional controller and up-to-date SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and 1-Wire interface are implemented to simplify the harness routing and to minimize the mass and size of OBC. The improved fault-tolerant architecture design methodology is incorporated in the HAUSAT-1 OBC to protect against space radiation environment. The functions of the OBC were fully tested and verified by the Electrical Test Bed (ETB) model. This paper is also addressing the environmental test results, such as random vibration and thermal vacuum tests.

상대 습도가 높은 다습 환경이나 강우 또는 강설 환경하에서 기체의 비행 성능을 평가하기 위해서는, 이러한 환경하에서 수분 유입으로 인한 제트 엔진의 성능변화를 고려하여야 한다. 수분 유입으로 인한 제트 엔진의 성능 변화는 주로 수분 함유량에 따른 자동 유체의 물성치 변화에 기인하는 것으로, 본 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 수분 유입이 압축기, 연소기, 터어빈 및 배기 노즐과 같은 엔진 구성품의 공력 성능에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 고찰하고 이를 종합하므로써 제트 엔진이 겪는 공력 성능의 변화를 예측하였다. 예측 결과를 기존의 해석 및 시험 결과와 비교하므로써 그 신뢰도를 검증하였으며, 이로써 제트 엔진의 운용 환경과 관련된 고 비용의 시험 또는 시험에 근거한 성능 보정을 대체할 수 있다.

다련장로켓은 기습적 대량화력의 집중, 기동성, 사거리의 손쉬운 증대가능성의 장점을 가지고 있어 제2차 세계대전에서 처음 등장한 이후 대부분의 국가에서 야전 포병의 기본 무기체계로서 발전되어 왔다. 전세계 40개국 이상에서 사용하고 있는 다련장로켓은 유도방법, 탑재차량, 전자자동제어 분야의 발달로 점차 대구경화하여 사거리가 증대되고 있으며 탄두의 위력도 증대 다양화되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 다련장로켓 중에서 가장 우수한 무기체계중의 하나로 알려진 MLRS는 미국을 비롯한 세계 13개국에서 채택하고 있으며 우리나라에서도 장비도입을 진행 중에 있다.현재 구룡을 생산하고있는 (주)한화에서는 이 MLRS가 차기 주력제품이 될것으로 판단하여 미제 사거리연장형(ER-MLRS)와 유사한 한국형 대구경 다련장로켓을 거룡이라고 명명하고 '93년부터 기초연구를 진행해 왓다. '94년 7월 첫 지상연소시험을 수행한 이후 현재까지 8기의 지상연소시험을 마쳤고, 지난 9월에는 비행용로켓 2발을 제작 비행 시험을 실시한 바 있다.본 논문에서는 미제 MLRS의 구성,제원,특성을 추진기관 중심으로 알아보고,자체 연구개발중에 있는 거룡 로켓의 추진기관 개발 현황을 지상연소시험을 중심으로 간단히 요약하고 미제와 성능을 비교해 보았다.향후 지속적으로 추진기관의 성능 개량을 추진할 계획으로 있으나 현재까지의 진행결과로 볼 때 추진기관의 개발은 문제가 없고, 대구경 다련장로켓탄 전체도 국내기술로 충분히 개발이 가능한것으로 판단된다.

The shock tunnel as a hypersonic ground test facility was designed, constructed and its performance test was conducted to reproduce the high speed flow which the hypersonic propulsion system is encountered. The design points were understood and the conceptual design was completed using the quasi one dimensional operation analysis code. After that, the specific performance and compartment design were completed using CFD simulation as the part analysis. The facility was then constructed according to those design results and the performance test was conducted for various operation conditions. In this paper, we suggested the compartment design method using CFD analysis, construction process and various performance test results in detail.

For the performance upgrade of a supersonic jet fighter, the processor and FLCC(Flight Control Computer) Architecture were upgraded from a baseline FLCC. Prior to the hardware implementation phase, the exact CPU throughput estimation is necessary. For this purpose, an experimental method for new FLCC throughput estimation was introduced in this study.　While baseline FLCC operating, the CPU address bus was collected with logic analyzer, and then decoded to get the exact access times to each memory-memory and the number of program Instruction branches. Based on these data, a throughput test in CPU demo-board of the new FLCC configuration was performed. From test results, the CPU-Memory architecture was design-changed before FLCC hardware implementation phase. To check the flight stability degradation due to power-interrupt problem due to CPU-Memory architecture change, the piloted HILS (Hardware-In-the Loop Simulator) test was conducted.

This paper described performance test of 1st prototype "Tail-Fan" system. KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) developed "Tail-Fan" system as a kind of helicopter anti-torque system(ATS) and designed ATS performance test-rig for Tail-Fan system performance test. For Tail-Fan system performance tests, firstly, test-rig operation tests were carried out for verification of design specifications. And natural frequencies of fan blade and test-rig were measured respectively. To find the operation rotating speed for performance tests, vibration tests using accelerometers on tail gear box(TGB) were carried out. Through the fanplot and vibration test results, rotational speed for Tail-Fan performance test to avoid a resonance were found and performance tests were carried out in flight conditions. We analyzed test data by non-dimensionalization. Through this results, 1st prototype "Tail-Fan" system was satisfied with design requirements.

A small unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), which uses a propulsion system consisting of electric motor and battery, weighs less than 8 kg, capable of hand launch. Because it is easy to operate and able to transmit image information in real time, the use of small UAV has been increasing. However, very few analysis methods or analysis results on flight performance of the small UAV have been known so far. In this paper, the performance analysis methods of a small UAV, which is manufactured to study an electric powered UAV, are suggested and their results are achieved. Aerodynamic data of the vehicle are obtained by making use of gliding performance from actual flight test, and required thrust and required power by flight speed are predicted. In addition, the methods to predict range and endurance in case of using battery as power source are suggested and their results are achieved.

In this paper, the optimal placement of the rotary wing's communication and navigation antennas was evaluated by measuring their performance through ground simulations and flight tests. To select the mounting position of the communication and navigation antenna on the helicopter, after considering the shape and characteristics of the airframe, the radiation patterns, coupling analysis, equipment operation profiles, and antenna type analysis were performed for the aircraft-mounted antenna. Based on the analysis results, a procedure for sequentially performing voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measurement and antenna pattern test was established through ground and flight tests of the antenna. The systematic performance measurement method and procedure proposed in this paper were verified through ground and flight tests of the Light Armed Helicopter (LAH) system.
