Abstract | The simultaneous optimisation of a platform and its operation, commonly called codesign, is a promising tool for hypersonic platforms given its potential to reduce the number of expensive hardware development cycles. A key advantage of codesign is its ability develop vehicles beyond optimizing a single operating point. For example, it is possible to incorporate integral constraints such as critical heat loading, and to target vehicles for complex and relevant mission objectives. Here, we present a framework for codesign of a hypersonic vehicle's nose-cone, targeting the trade-off between heat transfer and aerodynamic performance. We demonstrate (i) that constraining cumulative leading-edge heat load significantly affects optimal vehicle trajectories, and, (ii) codesign with this constraint significantly affects leading edge shape. This result shows that point estimates for nose-cone heat transfer are insufficient, motivating the use of more sophisticated heat transfer models. Finally, we show how codesign can be used to design vehicles that are performant over a range of missions, rather than optimizing for a nominal mission specification. |
