In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) were actively developed in various fields. In development process of UAVs, flight test is performed to ensure that minimum safety requirements and technical requirements are met. By constructing flight test infrastructure such as takeoff and landing facilities, operation procedure, and equipments, flight test can be performed effectively. In this paper, operation procedures of civil UAV's flight test are proposed. The procedures proposed are composed by two main steps: first, planning and permitting procedure of flight test. Secondly, execution and control procedure of flight test.

비행시험은 항공기 개발 및 인증을 비롯한 항공기 수명 주기에서 감항성 유지를 위해 반드시 수행해야 하는 중요한 절차로서 관련 표준에 대한 적합성을 입증 또는 검증하기 위한 것이다. 비행시험 항공사고 분석 결과는 항공기 자체 요소뿐만 아니라 다양한 복합 원인에 의해 발생되었음을 확인한다. 국제민간항공기구는 항공기 사고 방지를 위해 안전관리시스템 구축 및 이행을 권고하고 있으나 비행시험의 특수성은 반영되어 있지 않다. 이에 항공선진국들은 이해관계자의 비행시험 안전관리 수행을 지원하기 위해 별도의 기준을 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 국가종합비행성능시험장 구축에 맞춰 항공선진국의 관련 규정을 조사, 분석하고 조직 구성, 안전 및 리스크 관리, 비행 운영, 인력 관리, 행정 사항 등의 내용을 포함하는 비행시험 운영 매뉴얼 개발을 위한 정부차원의 기준 안을 제시한다.

The full results of troubleshooting process related to the flight control system of a tilt-rotor type UAV in the flight tests are described. Flight tests were conducted in helicopter, conversion, and airplane modes. The vehicle was flown using automatic functions, which include speed-hold, altitude-hold, heading-hold, guidance modes, as well as automatic take-off and landing. Many unexpected problems occurred during the envelope expansion tests which were mostly under those automatic functions. The anomalies in helicopter mode include vortex ring state (VRS), long delay in the automatic take-off, and the initial overshoot in the automatic landing. In contrast, the anomalies in conversion mode are untrimmed AOS oscillation and the calibration errors of the air data sensors. The problems of low damping in rotor speed and roll rate responses are found in airplane mode. Once all of the known problems had been solved, the vehicle in airplane mode gradually reached the maximum design speed of 440km/h at the operation altitude of 3km. This paper also presents a comprehensive detailing of the control systems of the tilt-rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV).

This paper presented the design of SRPS, ground function test, and the deployment test on a high speed taxi of KC-100 airplane. KAI has developed a spin recovery system in collaboration with Airborne Systems for KC-100 general aviation airplane. Spin mode analysis, rotary balance and forced oscillation tests were performed to obtain the rotational, dynamic derivatives in the preliminary design phase. Prior to the detailed design process of SRPS, approximations for initial estimation of design parameters- fineness ratio, parachute porosity, parachute canopy filling time, and deployment method- were considered. They were done based on the analytical disciplines such as aerodynamics, structures, and stability & control. SRPS consists of parachute, tractor rocket assembly for deployment, attach release mechanism (ARM) and cockpit control system. Before the installation of SRPS in KC-100 airplane, all the control functions of this system were demonstrated by using SBTB(System Breakout Test Box) in the laboratory. SBTB was used to confirm if it can detect faults, and simulate the firing of pyrotechnic devices that control the deployment and jettison of SRPS. Once confirmed normal operation of SRPS, deployment and jettison of parachute on the high speed taxiing were performed.

The development of the aviation industry and the changes in the military operation mission environment are demanding more long - distance operation (long - time flight), and such a flying environment is a risk factor for fatigue - related accidents. For the aviation related organizations such as ICAO and FAA, fatigue risk management system (FRMS) are applied along with flight time restriction regulations to prevent fatigue related accidents. The most important process in FRMS is fatigue risk management. Fatigue risk management systematically manages fatigue through scientific fatigue risk data collection and fatigue risk assessment. The purpose of this study is to applicate the assessment of scientific fatigue risk management to pilots of airplanes engaged in long flight. We reviewed the current state of risk management and FRMS through previous research. We also developed fatigue risk management indicators and examined the validity of internationally recognized fatigue risk data collection methods and fatigue risk assessment tools. There are 134 mission (flight) data used for development. In order to verify the indicators, the fatigue risk score between the items was assigned through pair-wise comparison. In addition, the verify test results were normalized.

비행시험에서 비행체의 경우 실시간으로 빠르게 이동하므로 비행체 상태를 파악하기 위하여 사용되는 계측/측정장비들의 데이터는 비행시험통제시스템들에 필요한 형태로 처리되고 송신되는 것이 실시간으로 이루어지는 것이 중요하다. 그래서 통제컴퓨터 자료처리시스템에서 발생하는 원격측정자료 처리시간의 감소 및 처리 주기의 향상을 통하여 계측레이더/원격측정장비 연동자료 처리, 비행안전 판단시스템, 비상종료 송신시스템 등에 연동자료 및 안전판단 정보를 현재보다 빠르고 유연하게 제공하기 위해 현 운용중인 원격측정자료처리시스템의 PCM 데이터와 레이더 정보를 동시에 수신/처리할 수 있는 자료처리 소프트웨어를 탑재하여 독립 운용이 가능한 PCM 자료처리시스템 을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 시스템을 보완하여 개발된 PCM 자료처리시스템의 전체적인 구조부터 소프트웨어 기능을 세부적으로 분류하여 중점적으로 설명하고 있다. 또한, PCM 자료처리시스템은 시스템 안정화 및 시험운영을 통하여 점차 보완해 나갈 것이다.

This paper reports development process of a university-based sounding rocket using simplified hybrid rocket propulsion system for low-altitude flight application. A hybrid propulsion system was tried to be designed with as few components as possible for more economical, simpler and safer propulsion system, which is essential for the small scale sounding rocket operation as a CanSat carrier. Using blow-down feeding system and catalytic ignition as combustion starter, 250 N class hybrid rocket system was composed of three components: a composite tank, valves, and a thruster. With a composite tank filled with both hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) as an oxidizer and nitrogen gas($N_2$) as a pressurant, the feeding pressure was operated in blowdown mode during thruster operation. The $MnO_2/Al_2O_3$ catalyst was fabricated for propellant decomposition, and ground test of propulsion system showed the almost theoretical temperature of decomposed $H_2O_2$ at the catalyst reactor, indicating sufficient catalyst efficiency for propellant decomposition. Auto-ignition of the high density polyethylene(HDPE) fuel grain successfully occurred by the decomposed $H_2O_2$ product without additional installation of any ignition devices. Performance test result was well matched with numerical internal ballistics conducted prior to the experimental propulsion system ground test. A sounding rocket using the developed hybrid rocket was designed, fabricated, flight simulated and launch tested. Six degree-of-freedom trajectory estimation code was developed and the comparison result between expected and experimental trajectory validated the accuracy of the developed trajectory estimation code. The fabricated sounding rocket was successfully launched showing the effectiveness of the simplified hybrid rocket propulsion system.
