DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN TOOL TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE OF HYDROGEN FUELLED PRECOOLED AIRBREATHING ROCKET ENGINES
G. Grimaldi, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
For new propulsive architectures, such as precooled air-breathing rocket engines, no propulsive prediction models for a conceptual design phase are available. In this work, different models of increasing complexity are developed and validated based on SABRE by Reaction Engines Limited, showing good agreement with the available data published by the company.
