Smart UAV, which adopting tiltrotor aircraft concept, requires vertical take-off and landing, long endurance and high speed capability. These contradictable flight performances are hard to meet unless the operation of flap system which should reveal optimal performance for each flight mode. In order to design SUAV flaperon satisfying the three performance requirements, various configurations are generated and their aerodynamic performances are analyzed using numerical flow computations around flap systems. Considering aerodynamic performance and structural simplicity, a final flap configuration is selected and the performance is validated through the wind tunnel testing for 40% scale model.

Smart UAV, which adopting tiltrotor aircraft concept, requires long endurance and high speed capability simultaneously These two contradictable flight performances are hard to meet with single wing concept and inevitably require the operation of flap system which should reveal optimal performance for each flight mode. In order to design SUAV flaperon satisfying the performance requirement, various configurations are generated and their aerodynamic performances are analyzed using numerical flow computations around flaps. Considering aerodynamic performance and manufacturing simplicity, a final flap configuration is selected.

The design of the main control valve, which is the main component of the flap control system, was based on actual manufacturing experience on the basis of trial and error method. In this paper, a model-based part design method is proosed. The flap control system consists of a main control valve, fail-safe valve, solenoid valve, LVDT and force motor. The main control valve consists mainly of a spool and slot. The important design parameters of the main control valve are the slot width, overlap and clearance. AMESim is linked to the model and it analyzes the flow path of the main control valve. Applying the proposed design procedure, it was confirmed that the required performance was satisfied within the allowable machining error range.

High-lift devices have a major influence on takeoff, landing and stall performance of an aircraft. Therefore, a slotted flap design optimization process is proposed in this paper to obtain the most effective flap configuration from supported 2D flap configuration. Flap deflection, Gap and Overlap are considered as main contributors to flap lift increment. ANSYS Fluent 13.0.0$^{(R)}$ is used as aerodynamic analysis software that provides accurate solution at given flight conditions. Optimum configuration is obtained by Sequential Quadratic Programing (SQP) algorithm. Performance of the aircraft with optimized flap is estimated using Aircraft Design Synthesis Program (ADSP), the in-house performance analysis code. Obtained parameters such as takeoff, landing distance and stall speed met KAS-VLA airworthiness requirements.

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.

The characteristics of two-dimensional supersonic coanda flow was experimentally investigated. For various ratios of slot height to coanda wall's radius of curvature, surface roughnesses, and jet stagnation pressures, the characteristics of the supersonic coanda flow such as shock structures and hysteresis were observed by flow visualization. It was found that the characteristics of hysteresis of the coanda jet was related to the surface roughness of the coanda wall. The study was further extended for application of the tangentially injected coanda jet to control co-flowing highly compressible main jet direction. It was noticed that the stagnation pressure of the main jet as well as the ratio of the slot height to coanda wall's radius of curvature wall was an influencing factor in the performance of the fluidic thrust vectoring method.
