최근 무인선을 활용한 해양 조사가 주목을 받고 있으며, 특히 세일을 이용한 소형 무인 드론에 대한 연구가 고조되고 있다. 세일 드론의 용도는 해양 조사, 감시 및 오염방제 등을 들 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 트윈 세일을 채용한 드론에 대해 선속을 추정 하는 방식을 이용하여 항주최적조건을 확인하고 세일드론의 운동성능 및 저항 등 초기설계단계에서 검토해야 할 성능에 대해서 고찰하 고자 하였다. 그 결과, 트윈 세일 드론은 항해속도를 2.0 m/s 이하로 유지하는 편이 유리하며 복원성 또한 DNV에서 규정하는 조건을 충 족시켰다. 또한, TWA 100°일 때 받음각 20°에서 최고속력은 1.69 m/s, TWA 100°일 때 받음각 25°에서 최고속력은 1.74 m/s를 보였다.

This study was intended to determine the maneuverability of the vessel CHARMBADA. When the rudder angle was at 10˚, 20˚ and 30˚, the maximum advance by slow, half and full ahead were varied in the range of 523.6-131.3m, 528.8-177.2m and 530.6-219.7m, respectively. The maximum transfer was 799.9-181.3m, 792.1-232.8m and 807.7-316.9m, respectively. The turning circle ability was better during starboard turning. When the rudder angle was 10˚, 20˚ and 30˚, variation in the maximum advances was 392.0m, 245.0m and 153.0m. The maximum transfer was 528.0m, 339.0m and 218.0m, respectively based on the regression equations. As the rudder angle became bigger, the maximum advance or maximum transfer became smaller by the exponential function. The advance inertia took 127sec, 145sec, 181sec each until the vessel speed was 7.0konts, 12.0konts, 17.0konts. The static inertia took 245sec, 269sec, 300sec each until the vessel speed was under 2.0konts and the advance distance was 114.4m, 181.2m, 197.0m each. Accordingly, the static inertia was inclined to increase to scale according to the increase in vessel speed. For the CHARMBADA, the smaller the rudder angle was, the much bigger the turning circle became due to adhesion to the skeg, thereby lowering the vessel's turning ability.
