A TBCC(Turbine Based Combined Cycle) engine performance design method for reusable launch vehicles flying both in subsonic and supersonic regime was proposed. The TBCC consists of turbo jet engines and ramjet engines, operating individually or together according to operation schedule. The performance scheme of turbojet and ramjet was validated and the combined engine performance of the TBCC at a typical flight condition was analyzed.

항공기용 원동기는 항공기를 추진시키기 위한 동력장치이다. 항공기가 추진력을 얻기 위해서는 프로펠러를 회전시켜 대량의 공기를 뒤로 가속시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법과, 단순히 배기 가스를 뒤로 고속분사시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 피스톤 엔진은 전자를, 터보 제트 엔진은 후자를 대표하고 있는데 두 가지 방법을 절충하여 터빈으로 프로펠러를 회전시키는 터보 프롭엔진과, 헬리콥터의 로우터를 회전시키는 터보 샤프트 엔진도 있다. 또 터보 제트 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진의 증간성능을 꾀한 터보 팬 엔진이 있는데 효율이 아주 좋기 때문에 급속히 발 전되어 항공기용 원동기의 대명사격으로 현재 군용이나 민간기용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최 근에는 터보팬 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진을 절충한 새로운 터보 프롭 APT (advanced turbo prop) 엔진의 실용화가 추진되고 있다. 이상과 같은 종류의 엔진 이외에도 항공기용 원동기에는 극히 제한된 용도에 쓰이는 램 제트와 펄스 제트 엔진 그리고 로켓 엔진 등이 있다. 원동기는 그 용 도에 따라 개발, 활용되는 것이기 때문에 오랜 역사를 지닌 피스톤 엔진은 아직까지도 경항공 기용 원동기의 주류를 이루고 있고, 앞으로도 터보 프롭 엔진과 더불어 나름대로 계속 활용될 것으로 전망된다.

The performance characteristics of a TBCC engine considering the transition mode from a turbojet to a ramjet engine has been investigated. The performance of each engine was proposed and a transition mode of the TBCC engine has been evaluated by adjusting the operating rate of the ramjet engine and turbojet engine performance changes continuously. Based on the transition model, it was confirmed that the performance is continuously changed at various flight Mach numbers and altitudes. The performance characteristics including thrust and specific impulse considering various flight conditions and transition mode were analyzed, which testifies characteristics of the engine itself, as well as transition of the combined cycle.

The engine core of a 65hp-turboshaft engine for UAV is developed and modified into a 55lbf-turbojet engine. Since the core engine is installed with a propelling nozzle, which has the same mass flow characteristics as the power generator of the turboshaft engine its mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics are basically the same as those of the complete engine. Engine output is not shaft power but thrust force that is easier to measure. The core engine is very useful for core test purpose. Besides, the core engine itself can be directly used for propulsion of small air vehicles.

A 150 lbf-thrust class micro turbojet engine has been developed. The engine could be applied to power plant for small aviation vehicle such as UAV, decoy and anti-radar missile and was designed with concepts that has small size, low-cost and high performance. A prototype was manufactured and performed the ground static test and high altitude test. This paper outlines the features and layout of 150 lbf turbojet engine and also describes the design characteristics and test results of the engine and components.

Infrared signal and exhaust gas temperature distribution with bypass ratio were measured using a micro turbojet engine. Micro turbojet engine was modified to simulate the turbofan engine behaviour. Core flow was simulated using the jet flow of the micro turbojet engine, and high-pressure air was supplied to its external duct to simulate bypass flow. The effects of bypass ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 1.4) were examined. The experimental results indicate that the infrared signal decreases as the bypass ratio increases. And also gas temperature decreases with bypass ratios. Additionally, Schlieren visualization of the exhaust gas plume was conducted. From the exhaust gas temperature distribution and Schlieren images, the structure of jet plume with various bypass ratios was understood.

Non-linear turbojet engine controller with high operational performance has been designed for the high maneuverability UAV. The turbojet engine dynamic performance code has been developed to reflect the non-linear characteristics on controller design, by which the necessity of non-linear controller design was justified by investigating the limitation of linear model derived from the dynamic performance. The PI-like fuzzy controller was designed and enhanced by combining with conventional derivative control. This designed fuzzy controller proves its effectiveness by showing superior control performances over the conventional PID controller along with guaranteeing the safe operation within compressor surge, flame out and turbine temperature limits etc.

This paper investigates the off-design performance of methane-fueled air turbo ramjet(ATR) engine in subsonic flight speed range. The ATR engine was modeled and simulated numerically. Each component was modeled to enable their off-design calculation. Compressor operating point was determined by flow matching with nozzle, and turbine by work matching. The ATR engine exhibited quite different off-design behavior compared to the conventional gas turbine engine.
