For the past ten years' efforts have been made to introduce environmentally-friendly "green" electric-taxi and maneuvering airplane systems. The stated purpose of e-taxi systems is to reduce the taxiing fuel expenses, expedite pushback procedures, reduce gate congestion, reduce ground crew involvement, and reduce noise and air pollution levels at large airports. Airplane-based autonomous traction electric motors receive power from airplane's APU(s) possibly supplemented by onboard batteries. Using additional battery energy storages ads significant inert weight. Systems utilizing nose-gear traction alone are often traction-limited posing serious dispatch problems that could disrupt airport operations. Existing APU capacities are insufficient to deliver power for tractive taxiing while also providing for power off-takes. In order to perform comparative and objective analysis of taxi tractive requirements a "standard" taxiing cycle has been proposed. An analysis of reasonably expected tractive resistances has to account for steepest taxiway and runway slopes, taxiing into strong headwind, minimum required coasting speeds, and minimum acceptable acceleration requirements due to runway incursions issues. A mathematical model of tractive resistances was developed and was tested using six different production airplanes all at the maximum taxi/ramp weights. The model estimates the tractive force, energy, average and peak power requirements. It has been estimated that required maximum net tractive force should be 10% to 15% of the taxi weight for safe and expeditious airport movements. Hence, airplanes can be dispatched to move independently if the operational tractive taxi coefficient is 0.1 or higher.

Shock absorber for rotorcraft landing gear should absorb landing impact during landing and isolate vibration to fuselage during taxiing. Double stage oleo-pneumatic shock absorber is known to have better performances than single stage oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. This paper deals with the z-direction translational acceleration at mass center, roil and pitch angular acceleration of fuselage for single and double stage oleo-pneumatic shock absorber at nose landing gear when a 6DOF rigid model is taxiing on the pound.

The general control method for Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) is that the wheel slip ratio is observed and the braking force is controlled in real time in order to keep the wheel slip ratio under the value of the best slip ratio. When a wheel runs on the state of the best slip ratio, the ground friction of the wheel approaches the highest value. The value of best slip ratio, theoretically, is known as the value between 10 and 20 % and it is dependant on the ground condition such as dry, wet and ice. It is an important parameter for the braking performance and affects the braking stability and efficiency. In this thesis, an experimental method is suggested, which is a reliable way to decide the best slip ratio through dynamo tests simulating aircraft taxiing conditions. The obtained best slip ratio is proved its validity by results of aircraft taxiing tests.

항공기가 지상에서 주행할 때 지면과 타이어 사이에 걸리는 수직하중 정보는 마찰력, 횡력 계산 시 사용되는 등 항공기 거동에 있어서 주요한 변수이다. 그러나 실제 항공기 주행 시 실시간으로 수직하중 정보를 얻기 힘들고, 실제 시험에서 발생 가능한 비정상적 활주 상황을 방지하기 위하여 사전 해석을 통해 타이어 수직하중 및 항공기 지상 거동 특성을 예측해 볼 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 VI-Aircraft S/W를 이용하여 착륙장치 및 Full-Aircraft 모델을 구성하였고 조향 해석 및 활주시험 상황 모사 해석을 통하여 항공기 지상 거동 특성에 대하여 분석하였다.

The full nonlinear equations of an unmanned aerial vehicle ground taxiing mathematical dynamic model are built based on a type of unmanned aerial vehicle data in LMS Virtual.Lab Motion. The flexible landing gear model is considered to make the aircraft ground motion more accurate. The electric braking control system is established in MATLAB/Simulink and the experiment of it verifies that the electric braking model with the pressure sensor is fitted well with the actual braking mechanism and it ensures the braking response speediness. The direction rectification control law combining the differential brake and the rudder with 30% anti-skid brake is built to improve the directional stability. Two other rectifying control laws are demonstrated to compare with the designed control law to verify that the designed control is of high directional stability and high braking efficiency. The lateral displacement increases by 445.45% with poor rectification performance under the only rudder rectifying control relative to the designed control law. The braking distance rises by 36m and the braking frequency increases by 85.71% under the control law without anti-skid brake. Different landing conditions are simulated to verify the good robustness of the designed rectifying control.

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.

착륙장치는 회전익 항공기 및 탑승 병력의 생명을 보호해야 하는 고도의 안전성이 요구되는 주요 구성품으로 이/착륙 시 충격을 흡수하고 지상에서 활주 및 계류 시 동체를 지지한다. 특히 항공기 동체를 지지하는 주륜 착륙장치는 지면으로부터 시작되는 충격을 완충장치와 타이어를 통해 대부분 흡수하는 역할을 수행하게 되는데, 이를 통해 항공기에 탑승한 조종사의 안전을 보장하고, 임무 수행 간 병력의 작전 운용능력을 만족시킨다. A 기종 회전익 항공기 운용 중에, 우측 주륜 착륙장치 구성품인 피스톤 핀(Piston Pin)이 다수 파손된 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주륜 착륙장치에서 발견된 피스톤 핀(Piston Pin) 균열 현상에 대한 근본적인 원인을 찾기 위해, 파면 분석에서부터 비행 시험을 통한 착륙 하중 해석에 이르기까지 다양한 원인 규명 방법을 모색하였다. 특히 개발 당시 피스톤 핀에 적용되었던 드래그 빔(Drag beam) 구성품과의 체결 토크에 대한 영향성을 토대로 균열 발생 가능성들에 대한 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 피로 수명과 구조건전성을 확보할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
