In this paper are presented TSTO system analysis including some controlled variables on the engine operation such as a fuel flow rate and a pressure ratio of compressor, as well as variables on the trajectory. TSTO studied here is accelerated up to Mach 6 by a fly-back booster powered by air breathing engines. Three different types of engine cycle were treated for propulsion system of the booster, such as a turbo ramjet, a precooled turbojet and an EXpander cycle Air Turbo Ramjet (ATREX). The history of the controlled variables on the engine operation was optimized by Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) to accomplish the minimum fuel consumption. The trajectory was also optimized simultaneously. The results showed that the turbo ramjet gave the best fuel consumption. The optimal trajectory was almost the same except in the transonic range and just before reaching to Mach 6. The history of the pressure ratio of compressor considerably depended on the engine type. It is concluded that simultaneous optimization for engine control and trajectory is effective especially for a high-speed airplane propelled by turbojets like the TSTO booster.

A new nondimensional method for predicting the windmilling performance of centrifugal -flow turbojet engines in flight has been developed. The method incorporates loss correlations to estimate the performance of major engine components. Given basic engine geometry, flight Mach number, and ambient conditions, this method predicts transient and steady-state windmilling performance. Thus, this method can be used during the preliminary design stage when detailed hardware geometry and component performance data are not yet available. A nondimensional time parameter is newly defined, and using this parameter, the transient performance of different types of turbojets (e.g. centrifugal vs. axial) is compared. In addition, the predictions' sensitivity to loss correlations, slip factors, and inlet ambient temperatures are analyzed.

Spray visualization of a vaporizer fuel injection system of a micro turbo jet engine was experimentally studied. The fuel heating by combustion was simulated by the high pressure steam generator and combustor inlet air from the centrifugal compressor was simulated by compressed air stored in the high pressure air tank. Spray visualization was performed with single vaporizer, and then six vaporizers which are same number of micro turbojet engine were used. As a results, the spray characteristics of the vaporizer were understood with pressure difference of the combustor inlet air and the fuel supply pressure. Spray angles with three types of vaporizer configuration were measured. In the results, guide vane configuration has a wider spray angle than the straight tube and smooth curve tube with a swirler, so it is expected that the fuel will be effectively distributed inside the combustor flame tube.

A numerical method based on the prediction of total pressure loss of major components of the engine has been developed for prediction of the windmilling start performance of micro-turbojet engine. The start performance in on/off design region has been analysed by applying this method to predict windmilling start-able regions of the centrifugal-type engine. The results of this analysis have been validated by comparing with the test data. The effect of each design parameters on windmilling start performance has been analysed for the enlargement of start-able regions.

Micro turbojet engine test and infrared signal measurement were conducted to understand the characteristics of the engine performance and infrared signal with the variants of the exhaust nozzle configuration. A cone type nozzle and five rectangle type nozzles which has aspect ratio from one to five were used for the experimental work. The results show that there are not much difference between cone and rectangle nozzles of the thrust and specific fuel consumption. However infrared signal from exhaust gas become smaller as increasing aspect ratio.
