Aircraft communication system which provides internal communications between pilots in an aircraft and external communications between pilots and operators in ground tower with them. It is very important equipment in terms of mission and safety. It wouldn't meet performance requirements with only functions of transmission and receiving of signals. It should provide highly clear voice quality without any noise. This paper analyzes the cause of noise during internal communications and summarizes the design changes applying single point ground concept to solve the problem. It also describes the results of fight test to verify the design changes.

필자가 참여했던 쌍발복합재사업, 쌍발복합재항공기사업, SB427 민수용헬기사업, T-50 초음속고등훈력기 사업을 통해 복합재료의 항공기 적용사례를 고찰하면서, 쌍발복합재항공기는 실험용항공기(Experimental Aircraft)이지만 국내 최초의 전복합재항공기(All-composites Aircraft)로서 항공기 구조물이 순전히 복합재료만을 이용하여 설계 및 제작이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었고, 복합재료를 적용 시 어떠한 이점이 있는지를 보여준 예가 되고 있다. SB427 민수용헬기사업은 헬리콥터에서 로터 블레이드와 동체 등 기체구조물 대분에 왜 복합재료를 사용해야 효과적인 지를 잘 보여주고 있다. SB427 개발 사업을 통해 얻을 수 있는 또 다른 점은 민수용 항공기의 경우 구축된 복합재료 인증체계에 따라 복합재구조물을 개발해야 되고 그래야만 마케팅에서 신뢰를 얻을 수 있다는 것이다. T-50 항공기는 국내에서 최초로 개발된 초음속기로 미익 부문에 복합재료가 응용되었다. 양산 항공기의 주구조물에 복합재료가 쓰인 예는 T-50이 첫 번째 인데 T-50에서 얻어진 복합재 적용기술은 앞으로 개발될 고급 군용기와 민수용기에 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는, 국내 개발 항공기에서의 복합재료 적용이라는 특정 주제를 중심으로 개발 이력과 기술적 조망을 통하여, 정부, 연구소, 업체 간의 유기적이고 체계적인 전략이 필요하다고 사료되며, 이러한 전략을 바탕으로 효율적인 항공 산업을 선점해야 할 것이다.

This paper mainly focuses on the conceptual design and stealth performance of the three-surface military aircraft. A three-dimensional (3-D) digital mock-up of the three-surface strike fighter with stealth feature was designed and the schemes of carrying missiles were analyzed in CATIA. Based on physical optics principle and the Method of Equivalent Currents (MEC), a numerical simulation of the RCS feature of the aircraft was carried out with RCSPlus which is a software designed by Beihang University. The paper contributes to the RCS feature analysis of the whole plane and different parts on X-band, S-band and UHF-band and a comparison of RCS feature to Su-37 and T-50 military aircraft is drawn. On X-band, the pitch angle of the incident wave was $0^{\circ}$, and the result shows: (1) Compared with Su-37 aircraft, the forward scattering RCS of the three-surface strike aircraft was reduced to 14.9%, the side scattering RCS to 9.6% and the back scattering RCS to 40.2%. (2) Compared with T-50 aircraft, the forward scattering RCS was reduced to 38.61%, and the side scattering RCS to 67.26%. This paper should be useful for researchers in conceptual design and stealth technology of the military aircraft.

T-50 supersonic jet trainer aircraft using digital flight-by-wire flight control system receives aircraft flight conditions such as altitude, VCAS(Calibrated Airspeed) and Angle of Attack from IMFP(Integrated Multi-Function Probe). IMFP sensors information have triplex structure using three IMFP sensors. Air-data selection logic is mid-value selection in three information from three IMFP sensors in order to have more reliability. From supersonic flight test at high altitude, air-data information is dropped simultaneously because of supersonic shock wave effect. This error information may affect to aircraft stability and safety in supersonic area at low altitude. This paper propose that sensitivity analysis and HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) pilot simulation in order to analyze flight stability and controllability in supersonic area at low altitude when these information is applied to flight control law.

This paper describes signal attenuation characteristics as splicing the output on LVDT for stability and reliability of switching mechanism, which is developed to use common signal between FLCC and EDFLCC, on T-50 aircraft. The method of test is classified a Pspice simulation and an actual hardware evaluation. The difference of error margin for two methods is 10times, the latter higher. The result in this experiment shows that the signal attenuation as splicing the output on LVDT doesn't affect and the static error margin is 53% for develope the EDFLCC.

Modern version of supersonic jet fighter aircraft must have guaranteed appropriate controllability and stability in HAoA(high angle of attack). Limit value of aircraft entering into the deep stall in HAoA is related to aircraft configuration design. But, In order to guarantee the aircraft's safety in HAoA, control law for HAoA region implemented in digital Fly-By-Wire flight control system of supersonic jet fighter. The AoA limiter is designed for positive HAoA in longitudinal control law. But, aircraft departure during aggressive negative pitch maneuver such as push over in departure resistance flight test. Therefore negative AoA limiter is needed in longitudinal control law. Result of T-50 flight test show that the AoA is exceed the limit value during aggressive positive pitch maneuver in pull up of power approach mode. In this paper, the AoA limit control law in positive and negative AoA was proposed in order to improve aircraft controllability and stability.

An advanced method of Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) is utilized for improving the aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The laws of flight control system utilize RSS criteria in both longitudinal and lateral-directional axes to achieve performance enhancements. Particularly, the design of longitudinal control laws for utilizing RSS methods greatly affects the performance of the aircraft in Air-to-Air Tracking and Air-to-Ground modes, which improves weapon delivery. In the area of Air-to-Air Tracking, the development of longitudinal control laws aids in the fine tracking and gross acquisition of other aircraft. This paper proposes that new concept of longitudinal control law introduce in order to improve fine tracking performance in air-to-air tracking maneuver. Result of HQS pilot simulation and flight test, fine tracking performance improve without degradation of gross acquisition when new concept of control law is applied.
