This paper deals with supersonic vehicle. A supersonic vehicle has very complicated and high nonlinear thrust characteristics with respect to outer and inner environment during operation. For this reason, supersonic vehicle has many maneuver constraints and allows to operate within more narrow flight envelope. In this paper, trajectory optimization of supersonic vehicle is accomplished. The trajectory optimization problem is formulated by a discrete parameter optimization problem and the operation constraints are considered during trajectory optimization. It is shown that results of trajectory optimization give senses to fuel supply and nozzle throttle area control into effectiveness. Furthermore, general operation direction and its application for supersonic vehicles are discussed.

일반적으로 노즐이나 오리피스로부터 방출되는 초음속 단일 자유제트 유동의 경우, 제트내부에서 발생하는 충격파 시스템이나, 제트경계의 형상 그리고 제트코어의 길이 및 초음속 영역의 길이 등은 종래의 연구로부터 비교적 잘 알려져 있다. 이들 연구에 의하면, 제트의 압력비가 어느 정도 증가하게 되면, 노즐 하류에서 제트내부에는 마하 디스크가 발생하게 되며, 제트유동은 압축과 팽창을 반복하는 구조로 된다. 또 노즐 출구로부터 마하 디스크까지의 거리와 마하 디스크의 직경 등은 노즐의 압력비의 함수로 주어진다고 알려져 있다.

A small supersonic wind tunnel was designed and built to study the flow characteristics of a supersonic impulse turbine cascade. Experiments are performed to find flow characteristics of supersonic turbine with the cascade positions and to find factor of expansion loss. The supersonic cascade with a 2-dimensional supersonic nozzle was tested with the cascade positions. Firstly, the flow was visualized by Z-type Schlieren system. Finally, highly complicated flow patterns including shocks, nozzle-cascade interaction and shock boundary layer interactions, flow characteristics of the supersonic turbine were observed.

Air mixing system which is composed of air pressure control system, hot pipe system and air mixer, is the facility for mixing hot air($1000^{\circ}C$, 10kg/s) from storage air heater (SAH) and decompressed air($20^{\circ}C$, 15kg/s) from high pressure air supply system. Air pressure control system reduce the pressure of the air, from 32MPa to 3.5 MPa and supply the decompressed air to air mixer. The hot pipe system supply hot air from SAH to air mixer which mix hot with the decompressed air from air pressure control system. Fully mixed air flow rate is 25kg/s and mixed temperature is up to $400^{\circ}C$. So, we can expand the operating envelop of the supersonic ground test facility to low Mach number and low altitude region.

The concept and characteristics of the propulsion systems for the next generation flight vehicles are described in this paper, where Hey are grouped into air breathing engine, rocket engine and combined cycle engine according to the feeding system of oxidizer. Air breathing engine has its good reusability and superior performance at low altitude, but its usage is limited at high altitude due to the decreased air density. Rocket engine can be used over the wide range of altitude, but it has disadvantages in low specific impulse and high cost. The several types of combined cycle engine, which are being developed by the leading countries in the aerospace, are highlighted as a remarkable candidate for the next generation propulsion system.

A study on the performance design schemes of the supersonic air intakes applied to the supersonic air-breathing propulsion system(Ramjet/Scramjet) was conducted and for two kinds of air intakes, the preliminary configuration designs and the performance analysis models were established. For axisymmetric conical air intake and two dimensional rectangular air intake, the performance effects were assessed according to compression angles and shock wave numbers.

Storage air heater(SAH) is a general purpose facility that is used to simulate the high altitude condition of supersonic ground test facility, thurst compensation test of rocket engine nozzle and gas turbine engine combustor test. SAH in KARI is built to simulate the total temperature of the supersonic ground test facility which has a wide flight envelope from altitude 0km, Mach 2 to altitude 25km, Mach 5 and operates up to 1300K, 3.5MPa. In this paper, we introduces the SAH in JAXA which is model of SAH in KARI and summarizes the design process and manufacture of ours.

Unsteady numerical analysis of an entire supersonic propulsion system from intake to nozzle was performed to study dynamic interaction between terminal shock in the intake and flame in the combustor. Both acceleration and cruise flight-modes were considered. Acoustic mode of the entire engine for both flight-modes were investigated by detail analysis of pressure fluctuation at each location of engine.

Subscale high-pressure injection system which use two-stage light gas gun composed with high-pressure tube, pump tube and launch tube can make supersonic liquid jet. The supersonic liquid jet enhances droplet atomization by shockwave in front of the jet. In this study, the experiments was executed to identify the atomization characteristics of the supersonic liquid jet using straight cone nozzle. SMD which presents the atomization characteristics was decreased from $151.2{\mu}m$ to $52.25{\mu}m$ by increasing of L/d.
