Description:
New design and analysis techniques for engine-airframe integration were applied in a recent hypersonic vehicle design study. A new technique was developed to design the vehicle's forebody so that uniform precompressed flow was produced at the inlet entrance. Results are verified with three-dimensional characteristic calculations. Results from a new three-dimensional method for calculating nozzle flows show that the entire lower afterbody of the vehicle can be used as a scramjet exhaust nozzle to achieve efficient, controlled, and stable flight over a wide range of flight conditions.
