Abstract:
This paper reviews the research status and technical problems of combined cycle engines,including rocket based combined cycle(RBCC),pre-cooling air turbo rocket(PATR),and air turbo rocket(ATR),and puts forward suggestions for the future development strategies of combined cycle propulsions from the application perspective. For RBCC,the development and application problems of middle-size rocket/high-Mach-number ramjet combined cycle engine should be solved in the near future. Breakthroughs in key technologies of combustion,thermal protection,propellant feed and control,and structural integration at Mach 1.8 to 7.0 should be accelerated. The application and engineering feasibility of various technical solutions at Mach 0 to 1.8 should be thoroughly evaluated. PATR is the most competitive first-stage engine in the two-stage horizontal take-off and landing space transportation systems. For PATR,breakthroughs in key technologies should be speeded up,and system optimization and engineered research should be continuously conducted. For ATR,research in propellants,wide-range adjustable gas generators and control methods should be promoted,oriented for the propulsion requirements of high-speed flight vehicles. Development of combined cycle engines calls for continuous innovation in research ideas as well as critical technical approaches and methods.
