CURRENT PROJECT
PROJECT 1
Combined Propulsion Rocket-based UAV for Stratospheric Observation using Multi-Sensor Integration
-
Develop a foldable fixed-wing UAV based on a micro hybrid-propulsion rocket, capable of reaching an altitude of approximately 30 km in the stratosphere within seconds using the rocket
-
After deployment, the UAV will fly for several hours to perform a mission of constructing a three-dimensional atmospheric database of the stratosphere
-
Both the rocket and UAV will be safely returned to the launch site and vertically landed on an unmanned surface vessel for reuse




PROJECT 2
Conceptual Design and Ground Performance Testing of a Hybrid Propulsion System for Electric Aircraft
-
Conceptual design of the entire hybrid propulsion system
-
Analysis of hybrid propulsion system characteristics
-
Modeling, simulation, and experimental validation


PAST PROJECT
PROJECT 1
Development of Hybrid Power Source based Long-Endurance VTOL UAV
-
Development of a hybrid power source-based long-term vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS) for unmanned, continuous, and safe optical surveillance mission


PROJECT 2
-
Marine environment observation UAV is being developed to instantly capture various marine phenomena occurring on the coast by carrying two sets of multi-Spectral imaging cameras
-
The remote reflectance of seawater is the most basic optical property to estimate color components in seawater and we could remotely estimate the chlorophyll concentration, and etc.
