UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has become one of the most popularmilitary/commercial aerial robots in the new millennium. In spite of all theadvantages that UAVs inherently have, it is not an easv job to develop a UAVbecause it requires very systematic and complete approaches in full developmentenvelop. The ground test and evaluation phase has the utmost importance in thesense that a well-developed system can be best verified on the ground. In addition,many of the aircraft crashes in the flight tests were resulted from the incompletedevelopment procedure. In this research, a verification procedure of the wholeairbome integrated system was conducted including the flight management system.An airbome flight control computer(FCC) senses the extemal environment from thepehpheral devices and sends the control signal to the actuating system using theassigned control logic and flight test strategy. A ground test station controls themission during the test while the downlink data are transferred from the flightmanagement computer using the serial communication interface. The pilot controlbox also applies additional manual actuating commands. The whole system wastested/verified on the wind-tunnel system, which gave a good pitch controlperformance with a preUspecified flight test procedure. The ground test systemguarantees the performance of fundamental functions of airbome electronic systemfor the future flight tests.

In this study, shape memory alloy damper with characteristics of pseudoelastic hysteresis for helicopter rotor blades are investigated. SMAs can be available in damping augmentation of vibrating structures. SMAs show large hysteresis in the process of pseudoelastic austenite-martensite phase transformation which takes place while subjected to loading above the austenite finish temperature. Since SMAs display pseudoelastic hysteresis behavior over large strain ranges, a significant amount of energy dissipation is possible. A damper can be designed with SMA wires prestressed to a baseline level somewhere in the middle of the pseudoelastic stress range. An experimental study of the effects of pre-strain and cyclic strain amplitude as well as frequency on the damping behavior of pseudoelastic shape memory alloy wires are performed. The effects of the shape memory alloy damper on aeroelastic and ground resonance stability of helicopter are studied. In aeroelastic stability, the dynamic characteristics of blades related to pitch angle and the amplitude of lag motion for the rotor equipped with SMA damper were examined. The performance of SMA damper on ground resonance instability are presented through the frequencies and modal damping with respect to rotating speed.

복합 자이로플레인의 전진 비행 성능해석을 수행하였다. 자동회전하는 로터의 성능을 해석하기 위하여 과도모사법(Transient Simulation Method)을 이용하였으며 비행 속도 증가에 따른 동체의 공력 성능 변화를 확인하기 위해 동체에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 주어진 속도와 샤프트각, 그리고 콜렉티브 피치 조건에서 준 정상 자동회전 상태를 판정하고 로터의 성능 변화를 관찰하였다. 성능해석 결과 속도가 증가함에 따라 동체의 형상에 따른 공력특성이 미치는 영향이 커지는 것으로 나타났으며 고속으로 비행하기 위해서는 유선형의 동체가 필수적이고 전진 속도 한계는 로터의 자동회전 성능에 종속적이었다.

A computational study for the optimal design of heat exchangers (HX) used in a high temperature and high pressure system is presented. Two types of air to air HX are considered in this study. One is a single-pass cross-flow type with straight plain tubes and the other is a two-pass cross-counter flow type with plain U-tubes. These two types of HX have the staggered arrangement of tubes. The design models are formulated using the number of transfer units ($\varepsilon$-NTU method) and optimized using a genetic algorithm. In order to design compact light weight HX with the minimum pressure loss and the maximum heat exchange rate, the weight of HX core is chosen as the object function. Dimensions and tube pitch ratio of a HX are used as design variables. Demanded performance such as the pressure loss (${\Delta}P$) and the temperature drop (${\Delta}T$) are used as constraints. The performance of HX is discussed and their optimal designs are presented with an investigation of the effect of design variables and constraints.

In this study, a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulator using thrusters is developed to validate the spacecraft attitude system. To control the attitude of the simulator, eight cold gas thrusters are aligned with roll, pitch and yaw axis. Also linear actuators are applied to the HIL simulator for automatic mass balancing to compensate the center of mass offset from the center of rotation. The HIL simulator consists of an embedded computer (Onboard PC) for simulator system control, a wireless adapter for wireless network, a rate gyro sensor to measure 3-axis attitude of the simulator, an inclinometer to measure horizontal attitude, and a battery set to supply power for the simulator independently. For the performance test of the HIL simulator, a bang-bang controller and Pulse-Width Pulse-Frequency (PWPF) modulator are evaluated successfully. The maneuver of 68 deg. in yaw axis is tested for the comparison of the both controllers. The settling time of the bang -bang controller is faster than that of the PWPF modulator by six seconds in the experiment. The required fuel of the PWPF modulator is used as much as 51% of bang-bang controller in the experiment. Overall, the HIL simulator is appropriately developed to validate the control algorithms using thrusters.

본 논문에서는 제한된 센서 조건에서 유도탄 동체의 각속도를 계산하는 법을 보이고 Flight Motion Simulator(FMS)를 이용한 각속도 계산식 검증을 다룬다. 일반적으로 유도탄 동체의 각속도는 동체에 탑재하는 각속도 자이로를 이용하여 측정하지만, 유도탄 동체에 탑재하는 관성 센서 중에 피치와 요 각속도 자이로가 없는 제한된 센서 조건을 가정한다. 이와 같은 제한된 센서 조건에서 김블 탐색기 자이로, 동체의 롤 각속도 자이로, 김블의 자세 측정값 및 자세 변화율을 이용하여 유도탄 동체의 각속도를 계산할 수 있음을 보인다. 제안한 각속도 계산식을 검증하기 위하여 FMS를 이용한 실험을 수행하였다.

This paper presents a multistage in-flight alignment (MIFA) method for a strapdown inertial navigation system (SDINS) suitable for moving vehicles with no initial attitude references. A SDINS mounted on a moving vehicle frequently loses attitude information for many reasons, and it makes solving navigation equations impossible because the true motion is coupled with an undefined vehicle attitude. To determine the attitude in such a situation, MIFA consists of three stages: a coarse horizontal attitude, coarse heading, and fine attitude with adaptive Kalman navigation filter (AKNF) in order. In the coarse horizontal alignment, the pitch and roll are coarsely estimated from the second order damping loop with an input of acceleration differences between the SDINS and GPS. To enhance estimation accuracy, the acceleration is smoothed by a scalar filter to reflect the true dynamics of a vehicle, and the effects of the scalar filter gains are analyzed. Then the coarse heading is determined from the GPS tracking angle and yaw increment of the SDINS. The attitude from these two stages is fed back to the initial values of the AKNF. To reduce the estimated bias errors of inertial sensors, special emphasis is given to the timing synchronization effects for the measurement of AKNF. With various real flight tests using an UH60 helicopter, it is proved that MIFA provides a dramatic position error improvement compared to the conventional gyro compass alignment.

Dual-point aerodynamic design optimization is conducted for DLR-F6 wing-body-nacelle-pylon configuration adopting an efficient surface mesh movement method for complex junction geometries. A three-dimensional unstructured Euler solver and its discrete adjoint code are utilized for flow and sensitivity analysis, respectively. Considered design conditions are a low-lift condition and a cruise condition in a transonic regime. Design objective is to minimize drag and reduce shock strength at both flow conditions. Shape deformation is made by variation of the section shapes of inboard wing and pylon, nacelle vertical location and nacelle pitch angle. Hicks-Henne shape functions are employed for deformation of the section shapes of wing and pylon. By the design optimization, drag coefficients were remarkably reduced at both design conditions retaining specified lift coefficient and satisfying other constraints. Two-point design results show mixed features of the one-point design results at low-lift condition and cruise conditions.

위성에 작용하는 외란으로 인해서 반작용휠에 원치 않는 모멘텀이 쌓인다. 이를 해소하기 위해서 위성의 축방향으로 설치한 세 개의 자기토커를 이용한다. 자기토커는 지구 자기장과 상호 작용하여 간접적으로 토크를 생성한다. 따라서 모멘텀 덤핑시 자기토커와 자기토커 주위에 형성되는 지구 자기장을 동시에 고려해야 한다. 높은 경사각을 가지는 저궤도 위성이 지구지향을 할 때 위성체의 피치축으로는 매우 약한 지구자기장이 형성된다. 이 경우 하나의 자기토커에 과부하가 걸려서 모멘텀 덤핑 성능이 떨어진다. 본 연구에서는 자기토커의 배치를 변경하여 지구지향자세에서 모멘텀 덤핑 성능을 향상시키는 방법에 대해서 살펴본다.

현대는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 많은 모의 훈련을 대체하고 있다. 시뮬레이터는 고유의 훈련 임무를 수행하기 위하여 기획, 제작 되어진다. 하지만 현대와 같은 종합적인 입체훈련 체계는 고유의 훈련 임무 이외에 개개의 시뮬레이터의 임무가 가상의 종합 시뮬레이션 환경에 참가한 통합 훈련 체계의 필요성을 야기하게 되었다. 또한 각각의 시뮬레이터의 기능은 보다 세분화 되었으며 높은 성능을 요구하게 되었다. 현재 KA-32 헬기 시뮬레이터 영상 프로그램을 제작하고 있는 한국소프트스페이스(주)는 독립적인 시뮬레이터들에 HLA(High Level Architecture)를 적용하여 하나의 종합 훈련 시스템을 구축하였다. 고유의 임무를 지닌 시뮬레이테는 각각의 임무를 가상의 종합 훈련 환경에 참가하여 서로간의 훈련 효과를 극대화 시켜화 시켜준다. HLA 기반의 종합 훈련 시스템의 RTI(Run-Time Infrastructure)는 Pitch 사의 pRTI를 사용하였으며, 가상의 종합 시뮬레이션 환경의 핵심이 되는FOM(Federation Object Model)은 호환성을 및 모든 객체의 표현을 위하여 RPR FOM(Real-time Reference FOM)을 사용하였다. 본 종합 훈련 시스템에서는 각각의 시뮬레이션간에 최고의 성능을 내기 위하여, 기능 세부화 하여 구성하였다. Terrion 사의 FLAMES는 종합 훈련 시스템의 시뮬레이션 진행/설정 및 분석을 담당하며, Mantis는 훈련 상황을 사실감 있는 3 차원 영상으로 참가자에게 전달하여 준다.
