The simultaneous optimisation of a platform and its operation, commonly called codesign, is
a promising tool for hypersonic platforms given its potential to reduce the number of …

Optimising a vehicle's design and trajectory simultaneously to maximise a mission objective,
which we term co-design, may be particularly suited to hypersonic vehicles. Trajectories of …

Gradient (sensitivity) information--how pressure or heat load acting on a hypersonic vehicle
varies with change in design parameters is highly valuable in many engineering …

The extreme conditions at which hypersonic vehicles are required to operate necessitate a
novel method of design, capable of producing vehicles that can perform across their entire …

Controlling hypersonic vehicles is especially challenging due to the complex interactions
between vehicle subsystems, the flow field and the flight control logic. Full-scale flight testing …

Hypersonics is currently at the leading-edge of aerospace research in both the public and
private sector. In the public sector, developing hypersonic vehicles is a focus to ensure …
