Keywords: numerical simulation,aerodynamics, space transport

In the present study, multi-disciplinary simulation codes have been applied for the design of the future TSTO systems. CFD code are coupled with the unsteady motions of the vehicles, propulsion systems, and thermal-structural analysis of TPS. Through these applications of the present multi-disciplinary simulation codes, it is indicated that various design problems for future TSTO space transport systems can be resolved efficiently.
