During flight the analysis of aircraft data recorded has played an important role in determining the causes of accidents. However, using the QAR, recently some airlines have begun to analyze flight data from uneventful airline flights to identify potential problems and correct them before they lead to accident. This paper, after the flight using the recorded data in QAR, proposes an estimated method which determines CL/CD values. The generalized aircraft dynamic equations were expressed as an estimated equation, which verified the effectiveness with simulation. The results of the present method showed that the understand of variation values of CL/CD is of great use for performance enhancement.

The sophisticated mathematical model is required for the design and the database construction of the advanced flight control system of UAV. In this paper, flight test of KARI's research UAV, often called DURUMI-II, is implemented for the data acquisition from the maneuver flight. The flight path reconstruction is implemented to ensure that the measured data is consistent and error free. The nonlinear system identification for the refined mathematical modeling is implemented with the verified measurements from the flight path reconstruction. The simulation with the identified results have a good validation when the simulated responses were compared to the flight tested data.

The main purpose of this study is to obtain linear models for the design of automatic flight controller in order to operate the Light Sport Aircraft as unmanned air vehicle. Flight test equipments installed on the aircraft to acquire flight test data are described and maneuvers for practical speed calibration are introduced. Parameters for the linear models of lateral and longitudinal motion are estimated by the Output error method as well as trim data analysis using the flight test data. Simulated data using the estimated parameters is shown to agree well with the measurement data. Estimated parameters obtained for several flight conditions can be used to improve the aerodynamic database of the simulation program.

Recently, studies have been carried out to develop unmanned Micro Air Vehicles(MAVs) that can search and monitor inside buildings during urban warfare or rescue operations in hazardous environments. However, existing fixed-wing and rotary-wing MAVs cannot travel at extremely low or high speeds, hover in place, or change directions instantly. This has lead researches to search for other flight methods that could overcome those drawbacks. Insect flight principles and its applications to MAVs are being studied as an alternative flight method. To take flight, insects flap and rotate their wings. These wing motions allow for high maneuverability flight such as hovering, vertical take off and landing, and quick acceleration and deceleration. This paper proposes a method for designing a mechanism that reproduces hovering insect flight, the basis for all other forms of insect flight. The design of a mechanism that can reproduce the motion that causes maximum lift is proposed, the required specifications are calculated, and a method for reproducing hovering insect flight with a single motor is presented. Also, feasibility of the design was confirmed by simulation.

To get a periodic trim solution from Level II helicopter flight dynamic equations, DAE based PPT A (partial Periodic Trimming Algorithm) has been proposed. Iterative update of state variables from PPT A can cause a numerical instability in DAE solver which needs compatible initial conditions. By simply adjusting the order of DAE solver a periodic trim can be obtained with good accuracy. Application for CBM (Common Baseline Model) helicopter showed the same trim result as harmonic balance method and the effective elimination of unrealistic initial responses at the start of flight simulation.

The radar flight test has many restrictions on simulating various targets, clutter and jamming signal. Therefore, in this study, a radar HILS system that performs a radar operation simulation function according to an operation scenario was developed. Radar HILS simulates the radar mission environment through radar beam operation simulation, radar operation control, simulated signal generation, and flight attitude simulation.. HILS generates and modulates simulated target signals(single, multiple targets) containing radar mission environments(clutter, jamming etc.) based on flight scenarios, and transmits them to AESA radar over RF. And Scenario-based radar performance was verified by detecting simulated targets and confirming detection results.

Software reusability is one of key factors which impacts cost and schedule on a software development project. It is very crucial also in satellite simulator development since there are many commercial simulator models related to satellite and dynamics. If these models can be used in another simulator platform, great deal of confidence and cost/schedule reduction would be achieved. Simulation model portability (SMP) is maintained by European Space Agency and many models compatible with SMP/simulation model interface (SMI) are available. Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is developing hardware abstraction layer (HAL) supported satellite simulator to verify on-board software of satellite. From above reasons, KARI wants to port these SMI compatible models to the HAL supported satellite simulator. To port these SMI compatible models to the HAL supported satellite simulator, simulation scheduler is preliminary designed according to the SMI standard.

An optimal flight motion simulator path generation method is proposed for hardware in the loop simulation of high maneuverable missile. The proposed method consists of open loop and closed loop path calculation algorithm based on the energy optimal control strategies. The optimal angle command is able to protect the simulator from high acceleration shock at initial control phase.

The exact performance simulation of propulsion system is a key element in the prediction of the aircraft performance. The specification performance analysis using the installed loss of KT-1 showed a large difference with the engine performance measured during the flight tests. This indicates that a method to estimate the more exact performance is needed. The study on the performance simulation with performance map correction along the engine operating line shows the good consistent results through all the flight conditions and engine conditions. The correction factors of the map were resulted from the comparative analysis between the flight test and the simulation of installed engine performance.

A comprehension-based computational model of pilot action planning called ADAPT is presented to model pilot performance in a flight simulation context. Individual pilots were asked to execute a series of flight maneuvers using a flight simulator, and their eye-scanning, control movements, and flight performance were recorded in a time-synched database. Computational models of each of the 25 individual pilots were constructed, and the individual models simulated execution of the same flight maneuvers performed by human pilots. The time-synched eye-scanning, control movements, and flight performance of individual pilots and their respective models were compared to test ADAPT's predictive validity.
