Constraint-based parameterization is of vital importance to the airbreathing hypersonic
vehicle due to the strong integration between the scramjet engine and the airframe. In the …

A two-dimensional mixed compression scramjet inlet design is presented in this work. The
design is based on the static temperature and Mach number at the combustion chamber …

Under hypersonic flow conditions, the complicated gas-graphene interactions including
surface catalysis and surface ablation would occur concurrently and intervene together with …

This paper deals with the development of a multidisciplinary design framework for reusable
space vehicles, able to provide a round-trip crew transport capability to low Earth orbit, and …

This article introduces a high-fidelity geometry definition methodology enabling
Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) of aircraft configurations. All …

Current design requirements are shaping advanced and efficient supersonic or hypersonic
aircraft concepts, capable of flying between distant parts of the globe within hours, and …

Hypersonic waveriders have the potential to significantly reduce travel times on long haul
civilian transport routes. The design of hypersonic aircraft is heavily influenced by the …

Abstract Closed-Brayton-cycle (CBC) power generation system is a potential high-power
electricity generation scheme for hypersonic vehicles, but finite cold source onboard limits its …

In this paper, a design procedure developed to obtain a Phase-A compliant optimal
aeroshape is presented. The proposed vehicle performs a low Earth orbit re-entry and a …
