A Study on the Improvement of the Airworthiness Certification System for Certification of Military Aircraft Engine

Currently, many overseas countries are showing interest in the Korean Military Aviation system, and as the localization rate of parts and components in the aircraft increases, the possibility of exports linked to aircraft exports is increasing. However, in the case of engines, overseas purchases are mainly applied, and exports are difficult due to restrictions such as E/L (Export license). To overcome this, efforts are being made to develop engines in Korea, but the current airworthiness certification system does not include engines as a target for certification, raising the need for an engine certification system. In this study, Korea and foreign engine certification systems were analyzed to derive measures to improve the Korea airworthiness certification system. In addition, based on the analysis results, a plan to improve the system was suggested by comparing it with the domestic airworthiness certification system. This study can be used as basic data when establishing the engine certification system, and it is expected that it can contribute to the development of an engine with reliability as well as the securing of flight safety of an aircraft.
