BBU for 155mm projectile has been verified its stable performance and quality reliability through the production for several years. We have researched substitution test for flight test of BBU. Through this research, we expect the verification of quality stability and other collateral effect like the cost reduction and delivery on time.

For application to drag-based propulsion system, the dynamics of a segmented structure with multiple hinges undergoing oscillatory motion are investigated. The side flaps are connected to a centre rod with elastic plates acting as hinges. The hinges bend to only one direction so that the structure behave asymmetrically between the power stroke and the recovery stroke. An analytical model is proposed, which estimates the asymmetric deformation of the segmented structure coupled with hinges. Using the proposed model, the effects of key geometric and kinematic parameters on the dynamics of the structure are analyzed.

The satellite propulsion system provides the required thrust to insert a satellite into the desired orbit after separation from the launch vehicle and to control orbit inclination or compensate altitude loss due to drag after inserted into the desired orbit. The on-orbit performance of LEO satellite propulsion system according to operation mode was verified based on the results analysis for early on-orbit operation. The temperature trends of components and tubing were checked and the resultant trends were within the normal range as well.

Mesh screen modeling and liquid propellant discharge simulation of surface tension tank were performed using commercial CFD software Flow-3d. $350{\times}2600$, $400{\times}3000$ and $510{\times}3600$ DTW mesh screen were modeled using macroscopic porous media model. Porosity, capillary pressure, and drag coefficient were assigned for each mesh screen model, and bubble point simulations were performed. The mesh screen model was validated with the experimental data. Based on the screen modeling, liquid propellant discharge simulation from PMD tank was performed. NTO was assigned as the liquid propellant, and void was set to flow into the tank inlet to achieve an initial volume flow rate of liquid propellant in $3{\times}10^{-3}g$ acceleration condition. The intial flow pressure drop through the mesh screen was approximately 270 Pa, and the pressure drop increased with time. Liquid propellant discharge was sustained until the flow pressure drop reached approximately 630 Pa, which was near the estimated bubble point value of the screen model.

In the case of a propeller-driven aircraft, power-on effect generated by the propeller has a strong influence on the performance and the stability of an aircraft directly and indirectly. A numerical study on the power-on effect has been performed using the CFD based on the multiple reference frame and sliding mesh model. The power-on effect increases the overall lift and the maximum lift of the aircraft. In addition to lift increment, power-on effect delays the stall of the aircraft. On the other hand, the power-on effect increases the drag significantly and consequently decreases the lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft. Furthermore, the power-on effect decreases the nose-down pitching moment and consequently decreases the longitudinal static stability of the aircraft. It is expected that the analysis results presented and discussed in this report will be used as an important material for analyzing the aircraft performance and stability and will contribute the development of the propeller-driven aircraft with the pusher propeller.
