| 内容記述 | Characteristics of airframe-integrated scramjet (AIS) aerospacecraft are studied using elementary and a recently developed AIS analysis code. Of principal interest is the definition of the AIS and what concepts offer the most potential. One of the concepts is selected for a limited optimization study aimed at defining the relationship of exhaust area to performance potential. The study shows that, if the AIS vehicle is to be fully constrained within the 'optimum' flowpath envelope, large values of exhaust-area-to-capture-area ratio are desired. A benefit of this choice is that performance at the very highest airbreather speeds is improved and, thus, may delay the need to switch to rocket power. |
