Abstract:
Possible skip trajectories of a flying vehicle with a periodically actuated ramjet are numerically simulated. An optimal choice of ramjet actuation areas and duration is demonstrated to ensure the maximum flight range with a given amount of the fuel. The main advantage of skip trajectories is found to be a significant (by an order of magnitude) decrease in thermal loads on the flying vehicle.
