To improve the aerodynamic effciency of TR-E2, a new configuration so called TR-E2Sl was introduced. TR-2251 is composed of different wing airfoil section and T-tail shape compared with TR-E2. Wind tunnel test for TR-EBS1 had been performed by changing the incidence angles of wing and deflection angles of control surfaces such as elevator and rudder. Also the on/off effect of ventral fin attached underneath of AFT fuselage was tested. Test result showed that variations of wing incidence angle did not cause any severe differences in aerodynamic characteristics. Longitudinal and directional characteristics of TR-E2S1 show stable for the pitch and yaw motions. However, the lateral stability of TR-E2S1 is not stable for a certain control surface deflection.

An original sensor system based on Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) for the strain monitoring of an adaptive wing element is presented in this paper. One of the main aims of the SARISTU project is in fact to measure the shape of a deformable wing for performance optimization. In detail, an Adaptive Trailing Edge (ATE) is monitored chord- and span-wise in order to estimate the deviation between the actual and the desired shape and, then, to allow attaining a prediction of the real aerodynamic behavior with respect to the expected one. The integration of a sensor system is not trivial: it has to fit inside the available room and to comply with the primary issue of the FBG protection. Moreover, dealing with morphing structures, large deformations are expected and a certain modulation is necessary to keep the measured strain inside the permissible measure range. In what follows, the mathematical model of an original FBG-based structural sensor system is presented, designed to evaluate the chord-wise strain of an Adaptive Trailing Edge device. Numerical and experimental results are compared, using a proof-of-concept setup. Further investigations aimed at improving the sensor capabilities, were finally addressed. The elasticity of the sensor structure was exploited to enlarge both the measurement and the linearity range. An optimisation process was then implemented to find out an optimal thickness distribution of the sensor system in order to alleviate the strain level within the referred component.

A smart material is used as spectacle frames and brassiere frames, and partly in medical supplies because of its shape memory effect. The smart composite can be used on the wing of an airplane instead of the existing aluminium to control crack propagation. In this study, the smart composite was fabricated by a hot press method. TiNi alloy as reinforcement and A16061 as matrix were used, respectively. The mechanical properties of the smart composite under thermal shock cycles were evaluated. In addition, Acoustic Emission techniques were also used to clarify the damage behavior of the smart composite under thermal shock cycles nondestructive.

This paper presents the smart fan which is operated by a small conventional motor and an ultrasonic sensor. The smart fan generates cool wind with regulated speed of wing by the distance between the user and the fan. In this research, an 8-bit microcontroller (ATmega128) and an ultrasonic sensor (NT-TS601) are utilized for the system control and sensing information. In order to obtain the speed information from the encoderless DC motor, a stroboscope is used, which provides the voltage variation by the motor speed. The proposed smart fan makes the user feel cool, convenient and safe at a low cost.

탄소섬유 강화 플라스틱(CFRP)은 우수한 비강도 및 비강성으로 인하여 항공산업에서 널리 사용되고 있다. CFRP는 대부분 탄소섬유나 프리프레그를 적층한 구조로 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 구조는 박리가 발생할 수 있다는 치명적인 단점이 있다. 이는 보통 두께방향 섬유의 부재에서 기인한다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유가 세 방향으로 직조된 3차원 탄소섬유 프리폼 및 이를 적용한 항공기 날개 단위구조체를 제조하였다. 단위구조체는 항공기 날개의 핵심 요소인 스킨, 스트링거, 리브로 구성되며 수지 이송 성형공정을 이용하여 제조하였다. 압축시험을 통하여 기존의 적층형 구조물과 비교한 결과, 3차원 프리폼은 구조물의 박리예방 뿐만 아니라 강도향상에도 효과적임을 보여 주었으며, 이는 3D 프리폼 구조물이 박리 예방을 필요로 하는 다양한 분야, 특히 항공 분야에서 널리 사용될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Smart UAV, which adopting tiltrotor aircraft concept, requires long endurance and high speed capability simultaneously These two contradictable flight performances are hard to meet with single wing concept and inevitably require the operation of flap system which should reveal optimal performance for each flight mode. In order to design SUAV flaperon satisfying the performance requirement, various configurations are generated and their aerodynamic performances are analyzed using numerical flow computations around flaps. Considering aerodynamic performance and manufacturing simplicity, a final flap configuration is selected.

To evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency of TR-S2 configuration designed by SUDC, wind tunnel tests of $40\%$ scaled model were done in KARI LSWT. The aerodynamic characteristics of plain and Semi-Slotted Flaperon were compared, and vortex generators were installed to improve flow pattern along the wing surface. Effects of the control surface such as elevator, rudder, aileron, and incidence angle of horizontal tail are measured for various testing conditions. Test results showed that Semi-Slotted Flaperon produced more favorable lift, lift/drag, and stall margins and application of vortex generator would be best choice to enhance wing performance. Longitudinal, lateral and directional characteristics of TR-S2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions.

TR-E2 configuration designed by Bell Textron was tested in KARI 1-m wind tunnel. To explore aerodynamic characteristics for the given configuration, a $12\%$ scaled model was fabricated and tested. Wind tunnel test for TR-E2 had been performed by changing the incidence angles of wing and deflection angles of control surfaces. Test result showed that the lower wing incidence angle has more favorable lift to drag ratio compared with original design. Longitudinal and directional characteristics of TR-E2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions. However, the lateral stability of TR-E2 is not stable for certain control surface deflection.

An application of adaptive flight controller is required for the non-linear and high uncertain system that configuration of tiltrotor aircraft is dramatically changed from rotary wing mode to fixed wing mode. In this paper, the applicable adaptive controller for the tiltrotor aircraft was designed using Neural Networks and DMI (Dynamic Model Inversion). The performance of the SCAS (Stability and Control Augmentation System) was simulated against manned military specification, using the fullscale model of 'Smart UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)' developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. And Neural Networks based adaptive controller was verified through its whole operating envelope using the established HQ (Handling Quality) criteria.

스마트 무인기 익형 주위의 유동 구조를 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 synthetic jet을 이용하여 천이 비행 모드에서의 수익하중 감소 여부를 파악하였다. 스마트 무인기의 실제 비행 모드에서의 유동 구조를 분석하여 앞전 및 뒷전에서 발생하는 와류에 의해서 수익하중이 크게 증가함을 밝혔다. 이에 앞전과 뒷전에서 발생하는 유동의 박리를 효과적으로 제어하기 위하여 Part 1의 결과를 바탕으로 0.01c, $0.95c_{flap}$ 지점에 jet을 위치시키고 각각 무차원 주파수(F+)를 0.5, 5로 작동시켜 그에 따른 유동구조 변화와 항력 감소율을 알아보았다. 그 결과 천이 비행 모드에서의 유동 제어를 위해서는 앞전에 위치한 jet만을 작동시킬 경우 가장 효과적으로 수익하중을 감소시킬 수 있음을 밝혔다. 이에 정지 비행 모드에서 뿐만 아니라 천이 비행 모드에서 synthetic jet을 이용하여 유동을 제어한다면 스마트전 비행 모드에서의 비행성능과 안정성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
