Analysis of Air-Breathing Hypersonic Maneuver Flight Styles and Key Technologies

Abstract

The maneuver flight performance is one of the key capabilities to ensure the implementation of various applications for air-breathing hypersonic aircraft. This article focuses on the study of the maneuverability characteristics of air-breathing hypersonic aircraft. Firstly, the development trend of foreign air-breathing hypersonic aircraft is analyzed, and a preliminary analysis is conducted on their typical maneuverability levels and maneuverability styles. Taking the current typical hypersonic missile project in the United States as an example, the typical maneuverability application patterns of air-breathing hypersonic aircraft are summarized. On this basis, key supporting technologies for ensuring and improving the maneuverability of air-breathing hypersonic aircraft are analyzed from the aspects of overall design, aerodynamic shape, flight engine integration, guidance control, and multi-field coupling.
