In this study, we have developed a rapid thermal aerodynamics analysis program as an alternative to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for performing fast analyses in the preliminary design step. This program utilizes empirical thermal aerodynamic correlation equations, allowing for efficient computations. We integrated thermal aerodynamics analysis program with a genetic algorithm to provide a design framework for multi-objective shape optimization of high speed vehicles, with objectives including maximizing payload capacity, minimizing total heat absorption, and minimizing ballistic coefficient. For shape optimization, thermal aerodynamic analysis was conducted based on the flow conditions obtained for the baseline configuration’s flight trajectory.
