- Description
- BAA Initial Announcement The objective of this BAA is to advance scramjet engine technology at scales from 10 to 100 lbm/sec nominal air flow (this has been referred to as scales from 1x to 10x). The contract will conduct advanced high speed hypersonic propulsion research and development in areas such as: ramjets, scramjets, combined cycle propulsion concepts, and related component technologies (to include: inlets, isolators, combustors, nozzles, materials, structures, propellants, control systems, and thermal management), as well as areas such as: advanced test methods, innovative propulsion concepts, and the integration of high speed engines with air platforms. Included in this objective is a need to research, develop and test innovative design(s) for scramjet engine flowpath component technology development and integration, fuel system technologies and their integration into the engine, high temperature structures and materials, and instrumentation and test facilities/techniques. The engine is expected to operate at high heat load conditions using liquid hydrocarbon fuels, including endothermics where appropriate. Critical technical issues for the combustor are seen as fuel injection (including staging and scheduling across the operating envelope), mixing flame stabilization, and piloting, structural durability, chemical kinetics, and engine cold start. The impact on overall engine performance must be addressed including trading off injector performance, mixing, and flame stabilization with system losses. Suitable figures of merit shall be developed and tracked for component through total engine performance.
