There are different kinds of aircrafts, such as conventional airplane, rotorcraft, fighter, and unmanned aerial vehicle. Their shape and feature are dependent upon their assigned mission. One of the fundamental analyses during the design of the aircraft is the structural analysis. The structural analysis becomes more complicated and needs more computations because of the on-going complex aircrafts' structure. In order for efficiency in the structural analysis, a simplified approach, such as equivalent beam or plate model, is preferred. However, it is not clear which analysis will be appropriate to analyze the realistic configuration, i.e., an equivalent beam or plate analysis for an aircraft wing. It is necessary to assess the boundary between the one-dimensional beam analysis and the two-dimensional plate theory for an accurate structural analysis. Thus, in this paper, the static structural analysis results obtained by EDISON solvers were compared with the three-dimesional results obtained from MSC NASTRAN. Before that, EDISON program was verified by comparing the results with those from MSC NASTRAN program and analytic solution.

KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has developed smart unmaned aerial vehicle(UAV) since 2002. Smart UAV has tilt rotor configuration which can take off and land vertically. For designing and developing smart UAV, it is necessary to obtain design loads. ARGON which use the panel method is multidisciplinary aircraft design program developed and modified by KARI and TsAGI. Panel method is very useful to obtain aerodynamic loads, so it have been used widely for aircraft loads analysis. For flight loads analysis, we have to prepare regulations and load conditions, and then design aerodynamic panel model, mass model and structure model. In this paper, we introduce the flight loads analysis procedure briefly, and show the smart UAV loads analysis procedure and result using ARGON.

The influence of different planform parameters on the aerodynamic performance of large-scale subsonic and transonic Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft have gained comprehensive research in the recent years, however, it is not the case for small-size low subsonic speed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The present work numerically investigates aerodynamics governing four different trailing edge geometries characterizing BWB configurations in standard flight conditions at angles of attack from $-4^{\circ}$ to $22^{\circ}$ to provide generic information that can be essential for making well-informed decisions during BWB UAV conceptual design phase. Simulation results are discussed and comparatively analyzed with useful implications for formulation of proper mission profile specific to every BWB configuration.

In this study, we aim to eliminate the flickering phenomenon in multi-function display (MFD) units during the flight of fixed-wing aircraft. To execute flight missions effectively, the video signals transmitted to MFDs must provide information accurately and seamlessly. Therefore, a method for addressing the flickering phenomenon-including cause analysis and failure diagnosis-is adopted; specifically, a wiring configuration with a direct connection between the video signal cables and with a short cable length is adopted. The proposed method is experimentally verified using a flight test.

An application of the KFLOW3D code which has been developed at KAIST is presented. This paper briefly describes the underlying methodology and summarizes the results for the DLR-F6 transport configuration recently presented in the second AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop held in Orlando, FL, June 2003. KFLOW3D is a parallelized Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver for multi-block structured grids. For the present computations, 2-equation k-$\omega$ WD+ nonlinear eddy viscosity model is used. The emphasis of the paper is placed on the implementation of the k-$\omega$ WD+ model in the multigrid framework and practicality of KFLOW3D for accurately predicting not only the integrated aerodynamic property such as the drag coefficient but pressure distributions.

The paper evaluates the aerodynamic coefficients on a blunt-nose re-entry capsule with a conical cross-section followed by a cone-flare body. A computer code is developed to solve three-dimensional compressible inviscid equationsfor flow over a Space Recovery Experiment (SRE) configuration at different flare-cone half-angle at Mach 6 and angle of attack up to 5°, at 1° interval. The surface pressure variation is numerically integrated to obtain the aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. The numerical analysis reveals the influence of flare-cone geometry on the flow characteristics and aerodynamic coefficients. The numerical results agree with wind tunnel results. Increase of cone-flare angle from 25° to 35° results in increase of normal force slope, axial forebody drag, base drag and location of centre of pressure by 62.5%, 56.2% and 33.13%, respectively, from the basic configuration ofthe SRE of 25°.

This paper presents the experimental investigation of a biplane micro air vehicle. The effects of geometric parameters, gap, stagger, and decalage angle are investigated at low Reynolds number (~150,000) in a low-speed wind tunnel. A rigid flat plate with an aspect ratio of one and square planform shape is used to evaluate all three geometric parameters. The side dimension of the single flat plate is 0.15 m. The goal is to find an optimal biplane configuration that should exceed monoplane performance by generating high lift and flying as slow as possible, in order to capture high-quality visual recordings. This configuration will directly help to fly at a lower velocity and to make tighter turns that are advantageous in restricted environments. The results show that the aerodynamic performance of the biplane MAV is significantly enhanced through the combination of gap and stagger effects. A performance comparison demonstrates the superiority of the optimal biplane configuration compared to a monoplane in cruise and glide phases. Moreover, no significant compromise is found for the range, endurance, and climb performance.

항공기 탑재 장비의 발달에 따라서 기존 운용 중인 항공기에 새로이 개발된 외부장착물을 추가하거나 교체하는 경우가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 외부 장착물의 추가 및 변경은 기존 항공기의 전체적인 공력특성을 심각하게 변화시킬 수 있다. 따라서 요구되는 장착물 배열, 형상에 따른 유동 및 공탄성 현상의 파악은 항공기 개발단계 및 항공무장의 추가적인 개발 시 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구는 유체-공력 연계기법을 이용, 외부장착물의 형상에 따른 F-5 항공기 수평미익의 공탄성 특성변화에 대하여 검토하였다. 공기력 계산을 위하여 FLUENT 코드를, 구조 동특성 해석을 위하여 ABAQUS 코드를 사용하였으며, 전역지지 방사기저함수를 적용한 Code-bridge를 이용하여 입력 자료의 보간 및 사상을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 고려된 비행조건에서 외부장착물의 형상에 따른 수평미익의 공탄성 특성에 미소한 차이는 있었으나 플러터는 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
