An ultra light quad-rotor is utilized in various areas for military and commercial purpose. Especially, the airframe shape is designed with various airframe size, weight and purpose. In this paper, the initial airframe shape of the quad-rotor was designed and manufactured. Flight test was conducted for the quad-rotor. The design modification of airframe shape was conducted to meet design requirement. By changing design, weight of airframe structure was reduced and payloads were placed to the best position. By reinforcing ribs and reducing vehicle's legs, the durability of airframe structure was enhanced.

로터-기체 사이의 간섭작용을 정확하게 계산하기 위해서는 로터의 회전을 사실적으로 모사할 수 있는 로터-기체 결합형상의 Navier-Stokes 해석이 필요하다. 하지만 회전하는 로터를 포함한 전기체를 해석할 경우 격자가 증가함에 따라 계산 비용과 시간이 증가된다. 모멘텀 소스 방법은 로터를 디스크 격자에 모멘텀 소스로 대체하여 시간 평균된 로터-기체의 간섭작용을 해석하므로 비교적 경제적이면서도 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 일반적으로 모멘텀 소스 값은 블레이드 요소 이론을 이용하여 구하지만 결과의 정확성이 떨어진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모멘텀 소스를 Moving mesh 방법을 이용한 Navier-Stokes 계산을 통해 구하여 정확성을 높였다. 이 모멘텀 소스 값을 이용하여 정상해석을 하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. 기존의 모멘텀 소스 방법은 시간 평균된 유동장만 관찰할 수 있으므로 비정상 유동장을 관찰하기 위하여 비정상 로터-기체 간섭작용 해석 모델을 개발하여 실험결과와 비교해 보았다. 검증을 위하여 간단한 형상인 Georgia Tech 형상을 사용하여 실험결과와 비교해 보았으며 본 연구의 계산결과가 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Airframe maintenance is regarded the most important maintenance action in airlines as the aircraft is the most valuable asset in their operation though the volume of airframe maintenance is the last in MRO market. In the selecting process of airframe MRO provider many kinds of evaluation criteria should be considered such as quality, expenses, TAT, capability, and customer support. This paper will suggest the way to select the airframe MRO in airlines and MRO business sectors using AHP.

본 논문에서는 단일 저가형 범용 GPS 수신기와 롤 축 각속도계를 이용하여 롤 회전 비행체의 롤 자세각을 결정하는 기법을 제안한다. 비행체에 부착된 GPS 수신기의 신호 수신강도는 GPS안테나가 향하는 방향과 비행체의 종축이 이루는 평면 내에 GPS위성이 존재할 때 최대가 된다. 비행체의 종축이 속도벡터와 일치한다고 가정하면, 비행체에 대한 GPS위성의 상대위치벡터를 이용하여 GPS 안테나 신호가 최대일 때의 롤 각을 결정할 수 있다. 롤 각 결정의 정밀도를 높이기 위해 롤 축 각속도계를 이용한 칼만필터를 구성하였다. 6-자유도 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper studies the simulations of active airframe vibration controls for the Sikorsky X2 helicopter with a lift-offset coaxial rotor. The 4P hub vibratory loads of the X2TD rotor are obtained from the previous work using a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis code, CAMRAD II. The finite element analysis software, MSC.NASTRAN, is used to model the structural dynamics of the X2TD airframe and to analyze the 4P vibration responses of the airframe. A simulation study using Active Vibration Control System(AVCS) with Fx-LMS algorithm to reduce the airframe vibrations is conducted. The present AVCS is modeled using MATLAB Simulink. When AVCS is applied to the X2TD airframe at 250 knots, the 4P longitudinal and vertical vibration responses at the specified airframe positions, such as the pilot seat, co-pilot seat, engine deck, and prop gearbox, are reduced by 30.65 ~ 94.12 %.

Research for solar-powered high altitude long endurance(HALE) UAV was conducted by Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI), and the EAV-3 with 19.5m wing span was developed. For HALE flight, aircraft should be lightly designed. Especially, airframe structure that accounts for a large portion of the total weight of aircraft should be lightweight. In this paper, development process of airframe structure for solar-powered HALE UAV, EAV-3, is described briefly. Domestic developed T-800 grade CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) composite material with high modulus and strength was used to design main load carrying structures. Flightloads analysis that takes into account large structural deformation was carried out. Stress and flutter analyses for airframe structure sizing were conducted. Static strength test for main wing and aircraft ground vibration test were conducted successfully and structural integrity was secured.

To numerically simulate aerodynamics of rotor-airframe interaction in a rigorous manner, we need to solve the Navier-Stokes system for a rotor-airframe combination as a whole. This often imposes a serious computational burden since rotating blades and a stationary body have to be simultaneously dealt with. An efficient alternative is to adopt a momentum source method in which the action of rotor is approximated as momentum source over a rotor disc plane in a stationary computational domain. This makes the simulation much simpler. For unsteady simulation, the instantaneous momentum sources are assigned only to a portion of disk plane corresponding to blade passage. The momentum source is obtained by using blade element theory with dynamic inflow model. Computations are carried out for the simple rotor-airframe model (the Georgia Tech model) and the results of the simulation are compared with those of the full Navier-Stokes simulation with moving mesh system for rotor and with experimental data. It is shown that the present simulation yields results as good as those of the full Navier-Stokes simulation.

This paper investigates numerically the effect of rotor hub vibratory load components on the airframe vibration responses of high-speed compound unmanned rotorcraft (HCUR) using a lift-offset coaxial rotor, wings, and two propellers. The rotor hub vibratory loads are predicted using a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis code, CAMRAD II, and the airframe vibration responses are calculated by a finite element analysis software, MSC.NASTRAN. It is shown that the vibratory hub pitch moment of a lift-offset coaxial rotor is the most dominant component for both the longitudinal and vertical vibration responses at four specified locations of the airframe.

Three kinds of jet flows encountered in the practical airframe design phase are discussed in this paper. Firstly, the side jet effect on the cavity flow over the flat plate was investigated. Secondly, the aerodynamic modeling of side jet influence on body-tail configuration was presented. Computational study of the similarity parameters was done to minimize the wind tunnel test. Lastly, supersonic jet impingement on a flat plate surrounded by solid walls was simulated numerically for both axi-symmetric and three-dimensional calculations with moving body method.

Aircraft flutter analysis model consists of dynamic FE model and aerodynamic model. Dynamic FE model is composed of stiffness and mass model, and is used for the prediction of normal mode characteristics of the structure. Since aircraft flutter analysis is normally performed in the modal domain, dynamic FE model shall be constructed to describe the modal characteristics of the structure with sufficient accuracy. In this study, dynamic FE modeling method was described using full airframe FE model and structural and system weight data for aircraft flutter analysis. In addition, full airframe dynamic FE model for composite small aircraft was constituted for normal mode and flutter analysis, and the mass modeling results were compared with the target weight data to validate the mass modeling method proposed. Finally, full airframe flutter analysis of composite small aircraft was performed with the dynamic FE model and the aerodynamic model composed.
