The objective of this research was to develop a coaxial rotor MAV which is suitable for a indoor reconnaissance mission. Preliminary design parameters were determined, based on the dimensions of other reference MAVs. The designed rotor performance was estimated by Blade Element Momentum Theory, and the analyses were compared against the measurements. Stability and vibration issues of the prototype were circumvented by making parts of vehicle with NC machine, as well as equipped with teetering rotor and stabilizer. The designed coaxial rotor MAV showed successfully flight equipped with video camera. However, it was founded that further research activities should be focused on efficient rotor design to obtain better performance.

The helicopter initial design model was established by using the latest weight estimation equations based on the Tishchenko's methodology through the study existing initial design tools. The sequential decomposition method is used to reduce analysis time in the sizing. Empirical parameters of the weight estimation equation were also extracted from numerical and regression analysis for a helicopter database. Design input and output values were compared with the RISPECT design tool. Finally, comparison of the re-design resulting for several existing helicopters was presented and showed the good agreement within less than 5% in the weight estimation and main rotor sizing. Established initial design model was proved to be effectively used as initial design tool.

This paper is focused on the procedure of the development of a micro air vehicle which has vertical take-off and landing capability for indoor reconnaissance mission. Trade studies on mission feasibility led to the proposal of a coaxial rotorcraft configuration as the platform. The survey to provide a guide for preliminary design were conducted based on commercial off-the-shelf platform, and the rotor performance was estimated by the simple momentum theory. To determine the initial size of the micro air vehicle, the modified conventional fuel balance method was applied to adopt for electric powered vehicle, and the sizing problem was optimized with the sequential quadratic programming method using MATLAB. The designed rotor blades were fabricated with high strength carbon composite material and integrated with the platform. The developed coaxial rotorcraft micro air vehicle shows stable handling quality with manual flight test in indoor situation.

In this study, Multi-fidelity analysis is performed to improve the accuracy of analysis result during conceptual design stage. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization(MDO) method is also considered to satisfy the total system requirements. Low-fidelity analysis codes which are based on empirical equations are developed and validated for analyzing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) which have unconventional configurations. Analysis codes consist of initial sizing, aerodynamics, propulsion, mission, weight, performance, and stability modules. Design synthesis program which is composed of those modules is developed. To improve the accuracy of the design method for UAV, Vortex Lattice Method is used for the strategy of MFA. Multi-Disciplinary Feasible(MDF) method is used for MDO technique. To demonstrate the validity of presented method, the optimization results of both methods are compared. According to those results, the presented method is demonstrated to be applicable to improve the accuracy of the analyses during conceptual design stage.

In this research, a high temperature superconducting(HTS) motor is designed which is adequate for an electrical aircraft by generating high power density and the potentiality of its application to an aircraft is studied. The designed motor is based on YBCO plates, HTS coils composed of Bi-2223, and ironless air cooled resistive armature. The HTS motor is designed to generate power equivalent to O-360 engine with 180HP at 2700RPM which is used for Cessna and equivalent to CFM56 engine with 18000HP at 5000RPM which is used for B-737. Also, power densities of HTS motors are compared with power densities of aircraft engines so that we can estimate the potentiality of the HTS motor as an aircraft engine.

부유부상 공정은 현재 신문고지와 사무용 고지의 탈묵을 통한 신문용지 및 화장지 제조 에 널리 사용되고 있는 고지재활용을 위한 핵심공정이다. 하지만 이들 공정은 갈수록 열악 해지는 국내 고지원료의 품질변화에 따라서 잉크 및 토너의 분리효율이 저하되고 있어 생산 되는 탈묵 펄프의 품질저하, 리젝트 발생량의 증대, 폐수 처리공정의 부하 증가 등 다양한 문제점을 발생시키고 있어 이에 대한 대책의 수립이 시급히 요청되고 있다. 현재와 같이 다양한 형태의 잉크 및 인쇄방식으로 인쇄된 많은 종류의 재활용지가 원료 로 투입되고 있는 경우 탈묵공정의 효율 향상을 위해서는 부유부상 공정에 대한 좀 더 체계 적이고 논리적인 접근이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 먼저 고지 재활용 공정 의 핵심 단위공정인 부유부상 공정에 관련된 복잡한 문제점을 단순화하여 고상 및 액상의 표면화학적 특성을 평가하고, 이에 따른 부유부상 공정의 효율을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 부유부상 공정을 기초과학적 측면에서 구명하기 위해 마이크로 크리스탈린 셀룰로오스(Microcrystalline cellulose: MCC)를 모델 물질로 사용하였고, 친수성 의 표면 특 성을 나타내는 MCC의 표면 특성을 바꾸기 위하여 AKD(alkyl ketene dimer)로 처리비율을 달리하여 사이징 처리하였다. 부유부상 실험에 사용된 MCC는 친수성을 띠는 것과 소수성 을 부여한 것을 구별하고 그 비율을 백색도를 통해 측정하기 위하여 자체적으로 친수성을 가지는 MCC는 세척 견뢰도가 높은 검은색 염료로 염색하였다. 준비된 친수성과 소수성 M MCC의 혼합비율 별로 패드를 작성하여 백색도를 측정함으로써 검량선을 작성하였다. 또한 부유부상 시간에 따른 제거효율을 알아보기 위하여 부유부상 시간별로 각각의 리젝트율과 수율올 측정하고, 리젝트 시료로부터 패드를 제조하여 백색도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 소수성 MCC의 소수화 정도에 따라서 리젝트율이 증가하였으며, 이를 통해 표 면에 소수성을 띠는 입자는 소수성이 강할수록 부유부상공정에서 제거율이 증가한다는 것을 확인하였다. 부유부상 처리한 MCC로 패드를 제조한 뒤 백색도를 비교한 결과에서도 이를 확인하였다. 한편 리젝트로 함께 제거된 MCC 내에 존재하는 친수성 MCC의 양은 극히 미 세하였다. 또한 부유부상를 실시하는 초기에 상당량의 리젝트가 발생함을 확인하였는데, 이 는 전체 부유부상을 통해 제거되는 양의 45-68%였다. 한편 부유부상이 진행됨에 따라서 리젝트 양의 증가폭이 둔화되는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 경향은 MCC의 소수성이 강할 수록 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 이를 통해 계 내로부터 소수성인 물질이 급속하게 제거됨을 알 수 있었으며 필요 이상의 부유부상 처리는 잉크제거 효율을 높일 수는 있으나 소모되는 시간에 비하여 비효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
