With increasing interest in aviation leisure sports, the demand for ultralight aircraft has increased, highlighting the necessity for robust structural design of the aircraft. In response, this study conducted static structural analysis and free-fall analysis of fuselage frame of ultralight aircraft. Robust design and crashworthiness under operational load conditions and vertical impact scenarios were evaluated by assessing maximum stress and safety factors. Analyses were performed using finite element method-based software ANSYS Workbench. Results including stress distribution and strain were analyzed to verify the safety of the designed fuselage frame. Additionally, this study predicted excessive deformation and failure locations of the fuselage frame during vertical drop impacts.

효과적인 조종사의 임무수행을 지원하는 소프트웨어인 비행임무지원체계가 현대 항공작전의 필수 요소로 주목 받고 있다. 첨단 항공기를 위한 비행임무지원체계의 개발을 위해서는 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되며 높은 개발수준을 요구하고 있으나, 국내 실정은 기본 프레임워크 조차 없는 단일 응용 프로그램 개발 수준에 불과하다. 따라서 차기 항공기를 지원하는 향상된 한국형 비행임무지원 체계를 개발함에 있어, 재사용이 가능하며 품질을 향상시켜줄 수 있는 프레임워크의 개발은 매우 중요한 과제이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 한국형 비행임무지원체계의 개발에 적합한 개발 프로세스를 제시하고, 이에 따른 비행임무지원체계의 프레임워크의 설계 및 개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Composite materials are used for main structural components of aircraft fuselage such as skin, stringer and frame to reduce weight. Failure and buckling analysis of the composite fuselage components have been done for structural design. The loads of MD90-30 are applied to each component. Various shapes of section such as I, Z and T-type are chosen as candidate composite stringer and frame. The analysis results of composite fuselage components are compared according to ply-angle and ply-number, and the section type. The numerical results shows that ply-angle and ply-number have important effects on failure caused by axial load for the frame are important design parameters of composite fuselage components. This study suggests several design tips for composite fuselage components.

This is the preliminary study to develop composite window frame of commercial aircraft using VaRTM process. For two candidate carbon fabrics(triaxial overbraid, sleeving braider), specimens were fabricated using VaRTM process, and the physical & mechanical property tests were performed to obtain the material properties according to ASTM. FEM analysis for each candidate carbon fabric was performed to find the minimum number of plies and weight for composite window frame to satisfy the design requirements. In this study, Tsai-Wu strength failure criterion was used to evaluate the safety of structure.

The aim of this study is to apply shape optimization technique for the repair of aging airframe components, which may extend fatigue life substantially. Free-form optimum shapes of a cracked part to be reworked or replaced are investigated with the objective to minimize the peak local stress concentration or fatigue-damage. Iterative non-gradient method, which is based on an analogy with biological growth, is employed by incorporating the robust optimization method to take account of the stochastic nature of the loading conditions. Numerical examples of optimal hole shape in a flat plate are presented to validate the proposed method. The method is then applied to determine the reworked or replacement shape for the repair of a cracked rib in the rear assembly wing body of aircraft.

Riveting is mainly used to assemble the aircraft fuselage. An average of 2~3 workers is needed to assemble an aircraft fuselage consisting of various size frames by riveting. In this study, a riveting process that enables one-person operation using an automated C-frame riveting machine was proposed for improving the efficiency of productivity. The proposed process was verified stability through structural analysis. In the range that can maintain structural stability, panel thickness of the riveting machine and shape were modified to optimizing the shape for reducing the weight of the riveting process. The structural analysis was performed by software ANSYS workbench 19.2. The optimized riveting machine was reduced by 257kg compared to the existing model.

If the EOIR equipment mounted on an unmanned aircraft transmits images and receives commands through a data link, there may be delays in data transmission depending on the transmission path of the data and the conditions of the ground equipment or wireless network. This increases the possibility of initial target LOCK-ON failure due to the difference between the time when the received image is viewed and the time when the image is taken. Therefore, this paper proposed a way to use frame indexes to synchronize with images, and to increase the success of target tracking by adding frame indexes to commands from the ground station.

1970년대에 개발된 Ti-15-3 합금은 상온에서 우수한 성형성을 가지고 있어 Ti-6-4 합금보다 성형 공정을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있어 생산비용을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있는 합금이다. 또한, 냉간 성형성이 우수하고 강화 범위가 폭넓기 때문에 항공기의 프레임, 항공기 압력 용기 및 고장력 유압 튜브 등에 많이 사용하고 있으나, 열간 성형성이 Ti-6-4 티타늄 합금보다 좋지 않기 때문에 이제까지의 적용 분야는 판재 성형 등의 한정된 분야에만 적용되어 오고 있는 실정이다.

KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is developing a design framework for the concept and preliminary design of eVTOL aircrafts. A low fidelity mission analysis tool was developed for the eVTOL aircrafts of Lift-Tilt Concept, which have tilt propellers and lift propellers, using open source SUAVE package. For its development, a review for the propeller performance analysis functionality was made. To find the trim solution at each mission segment automatically, an algorithm is implemented, using a global optimization technique through parallel processings and DOE(design of experiment). Using the tool, the one seated eVTOL OPPAV(optionally piloted personal air vehicle) was modeled and evaluated, which results were compared with the preliminary design data.
