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.

In this study, the cross-wind stability of the G7 train and TTX running under the high speed was investigated by using 2-dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. It is very important to analysis the aerodynamic characteristic of bluff body located near a ground at the field of the aeronautical, wind engineering, ground vehicle system. To the point of running stability, it is meaningful to analysis the cross-wind effect to the G7 train and TTX developed by domestic technology. The aerodynamic characteristics of the G7 train equipped by bogie-cover is more superior to the case without bogie-cover. Also 2nd model of TTX has stream-shape body has the more good performance than 1st model of TTX.

FCEV uses electric energy generated from fuel cell stack, thus all consisting parts must be re-designed to be suitable for electricity based system. Cathode air blower which supplies compressed air into fuel cell stack has similar shape of turbocharger, but a radial turbine of traditional turbocharger is removed and high speed BLDC motor is installed . Generally, maximum 10% of electric power of fuel cell stack is consumed in air blower, therefore an effective design of air blower can improve the performance of FCEV directly. This study will present an aerodynamic design process of an air blower and compare computational results with experimental data.

Adaptive wings are capable of properly modifying their shape depending on the current aerodynamic conditions, in order to improve the overall performance of a flying vehicle. In this paper is presented the concept design of a small-scale compliant wing rib whose outline may be distorted in order to switch from an aerodynamic profile to another. The distortion loads are induced by shape memory alloy actuators placed within the frame of a wing section whose elastic response is predicted by the matrix method with beam formulation. Genetic optimization is used to find a wing rib structure (corresponding to the first airfoil) able to properly deforms itself when loaded by the SMA-induced forces, becoming as close as possible to the desired target shape (second airfoil). An experimental validation of the design procedure is also carried out with reference to a simplified structure layout.

전기모터와 배터리로 구성된 추진장치를 사용하는 소형무인항공기는 무게가 8kg 이하로 손으로 던져 이륙이 가능하고 운용이 간편하면서도 실시간으로 영상정보를 전송할 수 있어 활용이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 소형무인항공기의 비행 성능에 대한 해석방법이나 해석결과는 별로 알려진 게 없다. 본 논문에서는 전기추진방식의 무인항공기 연구를 위해 제작한 소형무인항공기의 성능해석방법을 기술하고 결과를 도출한다. 비행체의 공력 데이터는 실제 비행시험으로부터 얻은 활공성능 데이터를 이용하여 구하고 비행속도에 따른 요구추력과 요구동력을 예측한다. 배터리를 동력원으로 사용하는 경우의 항속거리와 항속시간을 예측하는 방법을 제시하고 결과를 도출한다.

High-speed flight vehicles (HSFVs) such as space launch vehicles and missiles undergo severe dynamic loads which are generated during the launch and in in-flight environments. A typical vehicle is composed of thin plate skin structures with high-performance electronic units sensitive to such vibratory loads. Such lightweight structures are then exposed to external dynamic loads which consist of random vibration, shock, and acoustic loads created under the operating environment. Three types of dynamic loads (acoustic loads, rocket motor self-induced excitation loads and aerodynamic fluctuating pressure loads) are considered as major components in this study. The estimation results are compared to the design specification (MIL-STD-810) to check the appropriateness. The objective of this paper is to study an estimation methodology which helps to establish design specification for the dynamic loads acting on both vehicle and electronic units at arbitrary locations inside the vehicle.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a powered aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or non-lethal payload. An UAV is very important weapon system and is currently being employed in many military missions (surveillance, reconnaissance, communication relay, targeting, strike, etc.) in the war. To accomplish UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is a local path planning to maximize survivability for UAV on the battlefield of dynamic threats (obstacles, surface-to-air missiles, radar etc.). A local path planning is capable of producing a new path in response to environmental changes. This study suggests a $Smart$ $A^*$ (Smart A-star) algorithm for local path planning. The local path planned by $Smart$ $A^*$ algorithm is compared with the results of existing algorithms ($A^*$ $Replanner$, $D^*$) and evaluated performance of $Smart$ $A^*$ algorithm. The result of suggested algorithm gives the better solutions when compared with existing algorithms.

본 연구의 날갯짓 초소형 비행체는 실제 생명체의 날개를 모방하여, 매우 유연한 재질의 캠버날개를 활용한다. 캠버 날개는 생명체와 유사하게 앞전, 시맥, 박막과 같이 특성이 서로 다른 세가지 재질로 구성되어 있고 다양한 방식으로 구속되어 있다. 날개의 유연성을 활용한 수동 회전(passive rotation) 방식은 앞전과 시맥의 재질이 날갯짓 궤적에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 요소이기 때문에 적절한 유연성을 갖는 재질의 선정이 필수적이다. 이러한 날개의 재질들과 복잡한 형상을 사실적으로 모델링하여 정밀하게 해석할 수 있는 유체-구조 연성해석 프로그램을 개발하고, 날개의 앞전과 시맥의 탄성 계수의 변화에 따른 공력탄성학 효과를 정밀하게 분석하였다. 결과적으로 재료의 탄성 계수 변화만으로도 날개의 비틀림각 궤적을 적절히 발생시킴으로써 날갯짓 비행체의 추력 및 효율을 크게 증가시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

GPS 안테나는 위성발사체의 전 비행 구간에서 GPS 위성 신호를 정상적으로 수신하기 하여 발사체의 외피에 설치되어야 한다. 위성발사체의 표면 온도는 발사체가 대기권을 통과하면서 발생하는 열공력의 영향으로 급격하게 상승하며 발사체 외피에 설치되는 GPS 안테나는 극심한 고온 환경에 직접적으로 노출된다. 따라서 위성발사체의 외피에 설치되는 GPS 안테나에 대한 고온 환경 시험 규격은 발사체 내부 시스템의 고온 환경 시험 규격보다 더 가혹하게 설정되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 KSLV-I 발사체에 탑재될 GPS 안테나의 고온 환경에서 성능 분석 절차 및 결과를 기술하며, GPS 안테나가 고온 환경에서 물리적인 변형이나 내부 LNA(Low Noise Amplifier)의 성능 저하 없이 정상적으로 동작하였을 보여주고 있다.

A design methodology is presented to develop the hingeless control surfaces for MAV using adhesively bonded Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators. These actuators have got the capability to deflect the trailing edge surfaces of the wing to attain the required maneuverability, besides achieving the set aerodynamic trim condition. A scheme involving design, analysis, fabrication and testing procedure has been adopted to realize the trailing edge morphing mechanism. The stiffness distribution of the composite MAV wing is tailored such that the induced deflection by piezoelectric actuation is approximately optimized. Through ground testing, the proposed concept has been demonstrated on a typical MAV structure. Electromechanical analysis is performed to evaluate the actuator performance and subsequently aeroelastic and 2D CFD analyses are carried out to see the functional requirements of wing trailing edge surfaces to behave as elevons. Efforts have been made to obtain the performance comparison of conventional control surfaces (elevons) with morphing wing trailing edge surfaces. A significant improvement in lift to drag ratio is noticed with morphed wing configuration in comparison to conventional wing. Further, it has been shown that the morphed wing trailing edge surfaces can be deployed as elevons for aerodynamic trim applications.
