ELT(Emergency Locator Transmitter) is used to send distress signal in the event of an aircraft crash. It is very useful but the ELT may transmit wrong signal caused by misjudging between crash and hard-landing. The reason of this problem is the low accuracy of the mechanical G-switch currently in use. To improve the ELT, we developed an ELT system using the MEMS(Micro Electro-Mechanical Sensor) accelerometer. The ELT system consists of acceleration data acquisition/analysis system, program of crash recognition, and GPS receiving system for the position information of an aircraft crash site. A free-drop table was developed for verification of the ELT system. The free-drop table was designed to replicate the acceleration and the pulse duration of the hard landing and the crash. By using the free-drop table, we showed that the ELT system performed well.

The typical missions for the current stand-off UAVs are surveillance and reconnaissance. On the other hand, the primary mission for the future UCAS will be combat mission such as SEAD under the man-made ultimately hostile environment including SAM, antiaircraft artillery, threat radar, etc. Therefore, one of the most important challenges in UCAS design is improvement of survivability. The current studies for aircraft combat survivability are focused on the improvement of susceptibility and vulnerability of manned aircraft system. Although the survivability design methodology for UCAS might be very similar to the manned combat system but there are some differences in mission environment, system configuration, performance between manned and unmanned systems. So the parameters and their sensitivities which affect aircraft combat survivability are different in qualitatively and quantitatively. The susceptibility related parameters for F-16 C/D and X-45A as an example of manned and unmanned system are identified and the susceptibility parameter sensitivities are analyzed by using Monte-Carlo Simulation in this study.

This paper explains how existing electrical ADU(Antenna Distribution Unit) has been improved into a mechanical ADU. Generally the mechanical ADU has stabilized Glide Path which provides a RF signal to the aircraft for safe landing and it has solved the issue of phase shift and power distribution ratio change which can be occurred during long-term use. Besides it has been certified by Flight check and operating several airports in oversea as well as in korea.

본 강좌에서는 강도와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있는 파양문제에 대하여, 특히 파괴된 파단면을 중심으로 기초적인 일반사항을 기술해 보고져한다. 그 내용으로는 파괴와 Fractograph, 전자현 미경과 Peplica 법, Shadowing의 유효성, 파괴의 종류와 Fractograph의 일열 및 파단면형성에 관한 기구등이다. 물체가 파괴된다고 하는 것은 외력을 가하면 물체가 2개로 나누어진다는 단 순한 현상이라고 생각되기 쉽지만, 실제로는 물체가 왜, 이렇게 파괴되는가에 대해서는 알 수 없는 것이 대단히 많다. 고체가 2개로 분리되는 macro 현상은 원자배열이나 응집력등과 같은 micro적인 것에 기인하는 복잡한 것들이 있다. 이미 여러분들이 아는 바와같이, 구조물이나 기 계의 파괴는 돌이킬 수 없는 사고에 이르기 쉽다. 작은 부품 1개의 파괴라던지, 강판의 흠이 원 인이 되어 항공기나 선박등의 사고가 생기는 경우가 있다. 금후에는 원자로나 핵융합반응장치 등이 인류의 에너지원으로서 많이 이용될 가능성이 있지만, 파괴사고가 허용되어서는 안된다. 과학기술의 진보와 더불어, 기계 및 구조물에는 보다 가한 재료가 요구되고, 개발되어가고 있다. 따라서 충분히 안전하게 설계되어 있다고 생각할 수 있는 구조라 하더라도 재료내부의 결함을 기점으로 하여 가끔 파괴가 일어남은 부인하지 못할 사실이다.

용접작업공정은 기본적으로 2개 이상의 부재인물체나 재료를 상호 접합시키는 공정으로서 산업의 광범위한 분야에 이용되고 있다. 특히, 각종 설비, 교량의 구축 등에 필수적이며, 최근 고강도화, 경량화, 초정밀화를 추구하는 자동차, 항공기, 전자 및 광학기기, 가전제품 및 산업용기기 등의 품질경쟁력이 가공기술에 좌우됨에 따라 첨단 용접가공 프로세스가 개발되어 사용되고 있으나 대부분의 산업현장에서는 아직도 종래의 가스용접 및 전기용접장치를 많이 사용하고 있다. 따라서 산업현장의 실태는 유해.위험공정인 용접작업에 의하여 여전히 재래식 재해가 발생되어 사망 및 신체장애 재해가 다발하고 있다. 여기서는 교류아아크 용접작업과 $CO_2$ 아아크 용접작업 재해의 예방기술에 대하여 간략히 소개한다. 게재된 내용은 한국산업안전공단에서 제공된 자료를 발췌 정리한 것이다.(중략)

The Korea market for LUAV (Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) weighing less than 150 kg is growing rapidly. As a result, the market for manufacturing and operating LUAV is expanding, and domestic development of parts and finished products is actively taking place. However, the flight control system and onboard software, which are key components of domestic LUAV, are largely dependent on overseas products due to the excessive cost and period required for development. This paper presented a domestic software development and certification procedure using DO-178C, a guideline for aircraft software development, and the Model-based Development method, and conducted a survey of those involved in the development, manufacturing, and certification of LUAV and analyzed the results. In addition, a case study was conducted to apply the software development plan to the helicopter FCC (Flight Control Computer).

A performance test of an air cycle machine with an air to air heat exchanger was performed. The air cycle machine designed for avionics cooling in a fighter's external pod is a small turbo machine operated on the reverse Brayton air cycle driven by captured ram air which is the source of driving energy and it can be used as cooling fluid going through electronics in the pod during the flight. The air to air heat exchanger was also used to avoid moisture for avionics. The performance test have verified that the developed ACM and heat exchanger meet the design requirements.

Avionics Full-DupleX Ethernet (AFDX) is a next-generation avionics network interface technology that is widely applied in the latest aircraft to replace ARINC429 and MIL-STD-1553B. However, the criteria for authenticating an avionics network consisting of AFDX are very scarce. Using AFDX Protocol Analyzer developed by the Korea Electronics Technology Research Institute and AFDX Tap developed by the Korea Aerospace University, we proposed a technology of certification practicality that can verify the normal functioning of avionics equipment with AFDX network interface. Our proposed technology provided the ability to collect precision packets, to verify AFDX specification compliance, and perform automatic tests to reduce the time and cost of authentication of AFDX avionics devices.

As increasing the number of digital control devices installed on aircrafts and their transmission speed, various digital data buses have been introduced to provide reliable and high-speed characteristics. These characteristics of avionics data bus are highly related on the fault-tolerant performance which can make minimize jitter and loss during data transfer. In this paper, we concerned about a new traffic shaping scheme for increasing the reliability of Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) systems based on ARINC 664 standard. We note that the conventional AFDX with a single regulator per virtual link system may produce aggregated traffics as the number of virtual links increasing. The aggregated traffic results in large jitters among frames. To remedy for the jitter and loss of data, we propose a dual regulator scheme for the AFDX system. The purpose of the additional regulator is to additionally regulate aggregated traffics from a number of per virtual link regulators. Using NS-2 simulator, we show that the proposed scheme provides a better performance than the single regulator one. It is worthwhile note that the proposed AFDX with Dual Regulator scheme can be employed to not only aircraft networks but other QoS sensitive networks for robot and industrial control systems.

Due to the latest industrial flow comes mainly switch to high-tech industries, combustible metals as Al, Mg, Li, Zn more require to use for the aircraft, car, cell phones, electronics and others. As a result, Increasing the processing of combustible metals due to increase in amount of combustible metals giving rise dust explosions also. Most Explosions caused by combustible metal dust, occurred in air cleaning device of local exhaust ventilation to capture and store the combustible dust. Therefore, this study was conducted to present and analyze technically that deformation and rupture shape of air cleaning device structure by Finite Element Analysis(FEA) rather than a simple prediction, in case of explosion occurs in an air cleaning device.
