Development of a High-Fidelity Multidisciplinary Optimization System of Hypersonic Vehicles and Reusable Space Transportation Vehicles

本研究的目的是在包括高超音速飞行器和可重复使用的太空运输飞行器在内的先进飞机的概念​​设计中实现高保真多学科优化系统。首先，我们将概念设计所需的分析工具与优化程序结合起来。实际应用是与日本宇宙航空研究开发机构合作开发的高超音速实验飞行器的概念设计。所开发的系统成功地生产了适合任务和基本车辆概念的高度可行的高超音速飞行器。

The purpose of this study is to realize a high-fidelity multidisciplinary optimization system in conceptual designs of advanced aircrafts including hypersonic vehicles and reusable space transportation vehicles. First, we combined analytical tools needed for the conceptual designs with optimization programs. Practical applications are conceptual designs of hypersonic experimental vehicles developed collaboratively with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The developed system successfully produced highly feasible hypersonic vehicles suited to missions and fundamental vehicle concepts.
