A numerical analysis is carried out in order to obtain aerodynamic data of the ski jump. The body modelling of Korean people is used in the numerical simulation and the result is validated by comparing it with the wind tunnel experiment. A flying posture, which provides the maximum lift-to-drag ratio, is found by analyzing the aerodynamic coefficients of various flight conditions. The result of the present study can be applied to fixing the postures of Korean ski players and is expected to advance the national sports science.

비행 Simulator는 조종사가 실제 비행할 때와 같은 느낌을 받도록 구성되어야 하는데 조종사가 비행을 느끼게 되는 것은 여러 가지 감각기관을 통한 종합적인 느낌이다. 시각을 위하여 계기가 현재 비행 상태를 표시해야되고 외부 경치에서 고도, 속도, 자세 및 상승률을 감지하여야 한다. 이런 외부상태를 표시하기 위해서는 조종사의 Stick조작에 의한 비행기의 위치 변화와 속도 등을 실시간으로 계산하여 Graphic Engine과 Actuator로 데이터를 전송하여야 한다. 이러한 Parameter를 결정하기 위해서는 조정사의 조작에 의한 stick의 위치와 그로 인한 항공기의 자세 그리고 상태와 비행 속도 등에 따라 결정되며, 대상 항공기에 대한 제원으로 부터 조종사가 조종간의 이동크기와 조종면의 각 변위와의 관계를 계산하여 위치, 방향과 높이에 관한 Parameter를 계산해 줄 수 있는 방법 구현하였다.

This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated system scheme for a UAV and presents experimental flight test results. The proposed system is designed as a part of an autopilot system and comprises a GPS attitude determination receiver, an off-the-shelf inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a navigation computer unit (NCU). UAV requires accurate attitude information for stable automatic flight control. The proposed system can provide accurate attitude information for the flight control computer (FCC) so that stable automatic flight control can be achieved. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, an integrated navigation system has been developed. In order to evaluate the developed navigation system, the flight test has been performed. In the flight test, the developed system was shown to provide the position, the velocity and the attitude satisfactorily enough for stable flight control. The accuracy of the attitude information of the developed system was confirmed by comparing attitude of vertical gyro.

Recently, researchers are actively addressed to utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV) for military and industry applications. One of these applications is to trace the preceding flight when it is necessary to track the route of the suspicious reconnaissance aircraft in secret, and it is necessary to estimate the attitude of the target flight such as Roll, Yaw, and Pitch angles in each instant. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating in real time the attitude of a target aircraft using the video information that is provide by an external camera of a following aircraft. Various image processing methods such as color space division, template matching, and statistical methods such as linear regression were applied to detect and estimate key points and Euler angles. As a result of comparing the X-plane flight data with the estimated flight data through the simulation experiment, it is shown that the proposed method can be an effective method to estimate the flight attitude information of the previous flight.

Center of buoyancy moves along with pitch attitude variation, which causes Helium gas inclination. In this paper, movement of center of buoyancy and corresponding variation of longitudinal static stability were observed. The effect of separating wall, which is placed in the envelop to minimize movement of center of buoyancy was also investigated. Installation of separating wall was proved to be essential for current design, because movement of center of buoyancy aggravates longitudinal static stability. Investigation of longitudinal static stability for various speeds reveals a 50m airship is statically stable only in a low speed regime.

The fighter aircraft uses several different loading configurations for air-to-surface and air-to-air combat missions. To maintain wings-level flight with an asymmetric weapon configuration, a pilot controls a roll trim system. However, it is difficult to apply an accurate roll trim input for wings-level flight in the actual flight under disturbance. The inaccurate roll trim input degrades the performance of the roll autopilot system. In this paper, to solve this problem, an integrator was additionally designed in the command part of the roll autopilot system. The initial transient response was improved by scheduling the limiter to restrict the roll attitude error. As a result of the evaluation of the simulation for the designed flight control law, the roll attitude following performance was found to be improved in the autopilot system operation under the inaccurate roll trim condition.

최근까지 무인 항공기는 군사적인 목적으로 활용하기 위해 활발하게 연구 되어 왔다. 근래에 들어 레저용, 또는 상업용으로 활용도가 급격히 증대되고 있다. 이에 국내외의 대학 및 연구기간에서 무인항공기의 자동비행 제어시스템을 위한 연구를 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 무인항공기로 제어하기가 쉽고 활용도가 높은 쿼드로터 비행체가 각광을 받고 있는데 이미 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 쿼드로터는 4개의 로터의 속도 제어로 비행체의 위치제어가 가능하다. 쿼드로터의 구조적인 이점으로 제어가 쉬운 반면 바람과 같은 외란에 매우 취약하다는 단점이 있어 실제 위치 제어가 쉽지가 않다. 본 논문에서는 외란(disturbance)에 취약한 쿼드로터의 위치제어를 안정하게 제어하기 위해 비행체의 자세 측정 센서인 관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 만들어 비행체의 자세를 측정 할 수 있도록 하였다. IMU는 자이로(Gyro)와 가속도(Accelerometer) 센서를 융합하여 비행체의 Roll, Pitch, Yaw 자세를 계측할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 PID 제어기법을 적용하여 기존의 쿼드로터의 비행체에 대한 제어 성능을 실험을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper presents dynamic modelling and simulation study on attitude/altitude control of an insect-mimicking flapping micro aerial vehicle during hovering. Mathematical modelling consists of three parts: simplified flapping kinematics, flapping-wing aerodynamics, and six degree of freedom dynamics. Attitude stabilization is accomplished through linear quadratic regulator based on the linearized model of the time-varying nonlinear system, and altitude control is designed in the outer loop using PID control. The performance of the proposed controller is verified through numerical simulation where attitude stabilization and altitude control is done for hovering. In addition, it is confirmed that the attitude channel by periodic control is marginally stable against periodic pitching moment caused by flapping.

본 논문에서는 쿼터니온 궤환 개념이 기존의 오일러각 궤환 개념에 비해 추력벡터제어(Thrust Vector Control) 방식을 사용하는 전술 유도탄 자세제어에 보다 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보인다. 오일러각 궤환 방식을 택한 기존의 자세제어기에서 오일러각 궤환 부분을 쿼터니온 궤환으로 적절히 바꾸어 주게 되면 자세명령 크기 변화에 따른 시간응답 특성의 변화를 줄일 수 있으며, 쿼터니온 궤환 방식을 택할 경우, 우주비행체 자세제어 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 고유축(Eigen Axis) 회전에 의한 자세변환을 수행할 수 있는 자세제어기 설계가 가능하다. 고유축 회전은 최단경로에 의한 자세변환 개념이므로, 이러한 능력을 갖춘 자세제어기는 신속한 자세변환이 필요한 전술 유도탄의 초기비행에 매우 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 더욱이, 제어법칙에 공력모멘트를 보상하는 항을 추가하게 되면 변화가 심한 공력 모멘트가 유도탄의 회전운동에 미치는 영향을 줄일 수 있어 고유축 회전성능을 보다 개선시킬 수 있다. 우선, 오일러각 궤환보다 쿼터니온 궤환이 유리한 점을 논하고, 쿼터니온 궤환에 근거한 자세제어기의 설계 개념과 제안된 제어기에 의해 구성되는 폐루우프에 대한 안정성 문제를 다룬 후, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 타당성을 검증한다.

In recent years, researches utilizing UAV for military purposes such as precision tracking and batting have been actively conducted. In order to track the preceding flight, there has been a previous research on estimating the attitude information of the flight such as roll, pitch, and yaw using images taken from the rear UAV. In this study, we propose a method to estimate the attitude information more precisely by applying the Kalman filter to the existing image processing technique. By applying the Kalman filter to the estimated attitude data using image processing, we could reduce the estimation error of the attitude angle significantly. Through the simulation experiments, it was confirmed that the estimation using the Kalman filter can estimate the posture information of the aircraft more accurately.
