One essential problem in aircraft conceptual design is initial sizing in which the aircraft primary parameters such as weight, size, and thrust are estimated for given design requirements. The airbreathing hypersonic aircraft is a type of novel aircr...
A special feature of airbreathing hypersonic aircraft is the complex coupling between aerodynamic and propulsive performances. This study presents a rapid analysis methodology for the integration of these two critical aspects in the conceptual design...
In order to improve traditional hypersonic wind tunnel airframe/propulsion integrated aerodynamic testing technology for hypersonic vehicles, a new force measurement system called the aerodynamic force measuring support (AFMS) was designed. The AFMS...
According to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change, aviation contributes to only about 2% to anthropogenic global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, in view of the growing market demand and the dramatic reductions i...
