Hypersonic aircraft and missiles are of great interest. Potential applications include military reconnaissance and strike,
passenger aircraft, and the first stage for a two-stage to orbit launch vehicle. Numerous engines have been proposed for hypersonic vehicles including a wide variety of combined cycle engines, including those with integrated rockets and scramjets.
This paper presents the analysis, design, and simulation of a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) powered test vehicle that
can reach high Mach numbers. The paper covers the analysis of the engine with analytical studies. The aircraft, the size of a
hobbyist jet aircraft, that would be used to verify the flight performance of the engine is then presented. Non-linear dynamic
inversion techniques are used to design a guidance law. End-to-end simulations, including verification of the aircraft’s overall
flight phases, are presented. Finally, the development plan for a cruise missile-sized test vehicle is discussed.
