Propulsion Performance Model for Efficient Supersonic Aircraft

For the design process of the class of aircraft known as an efficient supersonic air vehicle (ESAV), particular attention must be paid to the propulsion system design as a whole including installation effects integrated into a vehicle performance model. The propulsion system assumed for an ESAV considered in a recent study done by Optimal Flight Sciences LLC and the Air Force Research Laboratory was a three-stream variable cycle engine (VCE).
