Abstract
Within the frame of the LAPCAT II project (Long-term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies, funded by the European Commission as part of the 7th Frame Program and involving 16 European research labs and industries), four concurrent system studies have been carried out to design a Mach 8 vehicle able to carry passengers on the Brussels-Sydney route. The required range is above 18000 km, and the defined number of passengers is 300, which correspond to a 60 tons / 1400 m3 payload. Inspired by the previous analysis led by Onera on PREPHA-based concepts 1, by the University of Rome on TBCC hypersonic performances 2, 3 and by Université Libre de Bruxelles on precooled turbofan performances 4, a deeper analysis on a LH2 turbofan/ramjet/scramjet concept was performed, including a parametric sizing of the vehicle, a more detailed internal layout and especially a step-by-step numerical analysis of the aeropropulsive performances on the Mach 8 cruise point, using a nose-to-tail approach. These steps will be described in the paper. © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.
