헬리콥터와 같은 전통적인 수직이착륙항공기는 이착륙시 활주로가 필요로 하지 않는 장점이 있으나 고 속비행 및 고고도 성능에 있어서는 고정익기에 뒤떨어진다. 고효율의 엔진개발에 따라 고정익 항공기가 최 대속도 및 성능이 비약적으로 발전한대 비해, 헬리콥터의 최대속도는 160 ~170 kts (300~315 km/h) 수 준으로 제한되어왔고 장거리 운항에서 필수적인 고고도 운항능력에 있어서도 4km 이상의 고도에서 효율 적인 비행을 수행하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 지난 반세기 동안 다양한 신개념 비행체 연 구가 수행되었다. 스마트무인기기술개발사업단에서는 항공선진국의 이러한 연구개발동향 및 그 결과를 종 합하여 미래적 신개념 비행체 대안을 모색하였고, 그 결과 틸트로터 개념을 선정하여 상세설계를 종료한 상태이다. 이러한 경과에 대한 요약과 현재 활발히 진행중인 항공선진국의 미래형 수직이착륙 항공기 개발 기종의 현황, 성능비교를 통해 고속, 고고도 수직이착륙 항공기 개발에 관한 세계적 추세와 본 사업의 연관 성을 고찰해 보았다.

Wind tunnel test for a small scale electric ducted fan with a 104mm diameter was conducted to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics when it was used as a propulsion system of tilt-propeller UAV. Experimental conditions were derived from flight conditions of a sub-scaled OPPAV. Forces and moments of the ducted fan model were measured by a 6-axis balance and 3-dimensional wake vectors which could induce an aerodynamic influence in the vehicle were measured by 5-hole probes. Thrust and torque on hover and cruise conditions were measured and analyzed to drive out the operating conditions when it was applied in the sub-scaled OPPAV. On transition conditions, thrust keep its value with tilt angle variation below 40° and increase after that. But, sideforce increase constantly until 75°. The maximum axial velocity in the wake on hover and cruise conditions was around 60m/s and tangential velocity was around 12m/s. The position of the maximum axial velocity and vortex center move off the fan rotation center line as the tilt angle increases.

In this paper, the instrument flight certification process and flight test results of Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH) are presented. For the instrument flight certification, the suitability of installed equipments and instruments have been reviewed and verified by ground and flight tests. Next, static and dynamic stability test are conducted in accordance with FAR-29 Appendix B. The static stability is determined by the change of speed and attitude according to control inputs. The dynamic stability is evaluated by how quickly the response of the helicopter due to long and short period control inputs are decreased. The pilot workload evaluation are also carried out by simulated IMC flight tests. This paper presents the workload assessment results when some failures are occurred at cockpit instruments, engine or flight control systems as well as the normal situation. After the simulated IMC flight test is completed, actual instrument flight test are conducted in a real IMC environment according to the air traffic controls.

This study is performed to find out the climb performance of light airplane, Chang Gong-91, as a part of flight test to acquire the certification. Chang Gong-91 is a 5-passenger light aircraft of normal category with single reciprocating engine, and the first officially certified by Korean Ministry of Construction and Transportation in 1993. These flight test procedure and data for climb performance are used to get type certification. We have got maximum climb rate for operating altitude, best angle of climb speed, best rate of climb speed, and absolute ceiling of Chang Gong-91 using drag polar data reduction method from sawtooth climb flight data. Also we compare the form drag coefficient from the results of climb performance and Oswald's effectiveness coefficient to design values using lift-drag curve of light airplane.

A numerical analysis for the performance of compound gyroplane in forward flight was performed. TSM(Transient Simulation Method) was used to analyze the performance of autorotating rotor. CFD was conducted for the fuselages to recognize the variation of aerodynamic performance according to flight speed. At given conditions; airspeed, shaft angle and collective pitch, the quasi-static states of autorotation were determined and the variation of rotor performance was observed. Performance analysis results showed that the effect of aerodynamic characteristics in accordance with the shape of fuselage is so important that the streamlined fuselage is essential to fly fast. Forward flight speed limit is dependent on the autorotation performance of rotor.

A study on the speed limit and sizing of auxiliary fixed-wing of compound gyroplane was performed. The performance of the plane that uses the same rotor system and power of BO-105 helicopter was compared with that of BO-105 helicopter. The wing area which is used to compensate in lift, was calculated considering the aerodynamic characteristics and lift sharing ratio of the rotor. Achievable flight speeds were observed for two types of fuselage; BO-105 and streamlined bodies. The study showed that the autorotating rotor can share 1/2 of lift at high speed and the parasite power of compound gyroplane having streamlined body and small wing can be minimized, accordingly it can fly faster than helicopter with airspeed more than twice.

The supersonic advanced trainer based on digital flight-by-wire flight control system uses aircraft flight information such as altitude, calibrated airspeed and angle of attack to calculate flight control law, and this information is measured by IMFP(Integrated Multi-Function Probe) equipment. The information has triplex structure using three IMFP sensors. Final value of informations is selected by mid-value selection logic to have more flight data reliability. As the result of supersonic flight test, pitch oscillation is occurred due to IMFP noise when altitude hold autopilot mode is engaged. This tendency may affect stability and handling quality of an aircraft during autopilot mode. This paper addresses autopilot control law design to remove pitch oscillation and these control laws are verified by non-real time simulation and flight test. Also, pitch response characteristics of pitch attitude hold autopilot mode is improved by upgrading the control law structure and feedback gain tuning during bank turn.

정확한 고도, 속도의 측정은 항공기의 효율적인 운영과 안전에 필수적이다. 정확한 고도의 측정은 지형 장애물의 회피와 항로상에서 최저 수직 고도 분리를 유지하기 위해 절대적으로 필요하다. 또한 정확한 속도의 측정은 저속(실속상태)에서 조종상실을 피하고 고속에서 항공기의 구조적 한계와 공기 역학적 한계의 초과를 방지한다. 따라서 비행시험을 통하여 고도와 속도를 정확히 보정해줌으로써 비행안전과 재산상의 손실을 막을 수 있다.

재래식 총은 발사체의 속도가 너무 낮기 때문에 이동하는 목표물에 대한 명중률이 낮으므로, 현대전은 발사체 속도를 높이기를 요구한다. 이 문제는 대공화기에서 특히 절실하며, 그것은 공격하는 비행체의 속도와 고도 증가에 보조를 맞추지 못해 왔기 때문이다. 또한 실제적인 표적거동에 대하여 조준점과 탄착점과의 오차 거리는 비행시간의 제곱에 좌우되므로, 전자기 총은 사격제어 오차의 영향을 80-90%까지 감소시킬수 있다. 종말탄도 조건은 장갑두께가 변할 때 변하므로 대장갑 교전에서는 균일장갑에만 해당되나, 그럼에도 불구하고 대장갑 교전에서 장점이 기대된다
