This Paper described the simulation program development for helicopter. In the design of flight control system to accomplish some special missions like UAV, it is important to minimize the execution time obtaining a linear model from nonlinear model that is used for design of controller. The first step for this kind of purpose is to complete a nonlinear model that contains full dynamic characteristics. The second step is to get the trim values that are obtained from the nonlinear model by solving an algebraic equation. And then stability and control derivatives are derived through hovering to forward flight by numerical perturbation that will be used for linear model for a specified flight condition. The software program(HeliSim) is developed by using MATLAB GUI and will provide easy modeling procedure. The suggested method in this paper is much more simpler than any other method like a fully scale helicopter model. The advantage of our suggested method will reduce the computational time due to simple formula to extract a linear model from nonlinear model that will be beneficially used for flight control system of unmanned helicopter by some reduction of computational load.

For a maneuvering unmanned autonomous helicopter, it is necessary to design a proper controller of each flight mode. In this paper, overall helicopter dynamics is derived and hovering model is linearized and transformed into a state equation form. However, since it is difficult to obtain parameters of stability derivatives in the state equation directly, a linear control model is derived by time-domain parametric system identification method with real flight data of the model helicopter. Then, two different controllers - a linear feedback controller with proportional gains and a robust controller - are designed and their performance is compared. Both proposed controllers show outstanding results by computer simulation. These validated controllers can be used to autonomous flight controller of a real unmanned model helicopter.

This paper shows the design of operational flight program(OFP) using model-based design(MBD) method which is used in various engineering fields to reduce time and flight risks for development. The verification of OFP for DO-178C guidelines carry out by a model advisor function of simulink. The flight control logic on simulink is converted into C-language by auto code generation tool from, then it is implemented on 32bit digital signal processor(DSP). The verifications of flight control algorithm on various weather conditions are performed by the HILS system with Flight simulator program, X-plane.

In this paper, in-flight alignment algorithm using UKF is presented for an SDINS aided by SSBL or GPS system under large initial heading error. The EKF usually applied for this task. This approximates the propagation of mean and covariance accurate to first-order only. To overcome this limitation, the unscented transformation that achieves second order approximation is applied to the in-flight alignment. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, simulations for S-type trajectory are carried out. The results show that performance of EKF and UKF are the almost same when the initial heading error is smaller than $30^{\circ}$, but UKF has a better performance for large initial heading error about $45^{\circ}$.

We have developed Ground Software (GSW) of BITSE. The ground software includes mission operation software, data visualization software and data processing software. Mission operation software is implemented using COSMOS. COSMOS is a command and control system providing commanding, scripting and data visualization capabilities for embedded systems. Mission operation software send commands to flight software and control coronagraph. It displays every telemetry packets and provides realtime graphing of telemetry data. Data visualization software is used to display and analyze science image data in real time. It is graphical user interface (GUI) and has various functions such as directory listing, image display, and intensity profile. The data visualization software shows also image information which is FITS header, pixel resolution, and histogram. It helps users to confirm alignment and exposure time during the mission. Data processing software creates 4-channel polarization data from raw data.

Supersonic jet fighter aircraft must have been guaranteed appropriate for controllability and stability in HAoA(High Angle of Attack) region. Limit value of aircraft enter the deep stall at HAoA is related to problem of aircraft configuration design. But, In order to guarantee the aircraft safety in HAoA, control law is designed using digital Fly-By-Wire flight control system in modern versions of supersonic jet fighter aircraft. Also, In order to recovery if aircraft enter the deep stall or spin, anti-spin control law and MPO(Manual Pitch Override) mode is designed. AoA limiter and MPO is designed in longitudinal axis and HAoA departure prevention logic, roll command limiter, rudder fader and anti-spin logic is designed in lateral-directional axis. In this paper, we introduce the T-50 HAoA flight control law and propose that aircraft stability and adequate of these control law from HAoA flight test.

A Linear parameterized Sigma-Pi neural network (SPNN) is applied to a tilt-duct unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has a very large longitudinal stability ($C_{L{\alpha}}$). It is uncontrollable by a proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller due to heavy stability. It is shown that the combined inner loop and outer loop of SPNN controllers could overcome the sluggish longitudinal dynamics using a method of dynamic inversion and pseudo-control to compensate for reference model error. The simulation results of the way point guidance are presented to evaluate the performance of SPNN in comparison to a PID controller.

An autothrottle module for small jet aircraft Fly-By-Wire system was developed. The autothrottle was designed to be composed of DC geared motor and electro-magnetic clutch that enables smooth manual/auto switching. A controller was designed for simple position control using ON/OFF control method with a commercial motor driver. The autothrottle developed was installed in the cockpit mockup and interfaced to the flight control computer for the HILS test. The performance test proved that the throttle lever follows well the command signal from the flight control computer.

The propulsion system of VIA-50A airship consists of engine, generator, inverter, motor and propeller. The motor and propeller was designed that can be tilted to $120^{\circ}$ for thrust vector control. When the flight test was performed, various condition data of the airship were obtained by wireless telecommunication and analyzed in real-time. In this paper, we presented flight test results of propulsion system. Considering the designed requirement and normal range, we verified that all constituent part was operated in normal condition during the high altitude flight test.

Integrated data processing for display of flight critical data and mission critical data was conducted without additional display instruments using glass cockpit design. Based on a pre-designed flight critical system and a mission critical system, this paper shows an optimal design of subsystem integration. The design satisfies safety requirements of flight control systems(FCS) and requires minimized modification of pre-designed systems. By conducting integration test using System Integration laboratory(SIL), it is confirmed that the introduced design approach meets the safety requirements of the MEP system.
