The Airframe-engine configuration, the wide range of speed and the extreme flight conditions result in significant coupling among various dynamics and modeling uncertainties. There is almost a complete absence of models that adequately include and quantify the unique attributes for this class of vehicles. This paper describes a high-fidelity CFD-based model of a full scale generic airbreathing hypersonic flight vehicle under development at the Multidisciplinary Flight Dynamics and Control Laboratory (MFDCLab, www.calstatela.edu/centers/mfdclab) at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA). The vehicle (CSULA-GHV), which has an integrated airframe-propulsion system configuration, resembles an actual test vehicle. The vehicle is specifically designed to study the challenges associated with modeling and control of airbreathing hypersonic vehicles and to investigate and quantify the couplings between the aerodynamics, the propulsion system, the structural dynamics, and the control system. The configuration of the vehicle and its dimensions are developed based on 2-D compressible flow theory, and a set of mission requirements broadly accepted for a hypersonic cruise vehicle intended for both space access and military applications. Analytical aerodynamic calculations are conducted assuming a cruising condition of Mach 10 at an altitude of 30 km. The 2-D oblique shock theory is used to predict the shock wave angles, the pressure on the frontal surface, and the Mach number at the engine inlet. The scramjet engine is simply modeled by a 1-D compressible flow with heating. The exit flow is modeled using 2-D expansion wave theory to predict the pressure on the rear surface. The unique aspect of this study is the use of coupled simulations using multi-physic software in conjunction with theory enabling quantification of the couplings which are broadly ignored in models used for control system design. Simulation results developed to date are presented.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.394449154672439,"endowment":4.394449154672439,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"26657633","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2335286383","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":3},{"year":2013,"count":6},{"year":2014,"count":7},{"year":2015,"count":5},{"year":2016,"count":9},{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":3},{"year":2019,"count":3},{"year":2020,"count":5},{"year":2021,"count":2},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":2},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/pdf/10.2514/6.2005-6256","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2005-6256","host_type":"conference"}],"fields_of_study":["Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics","Rocket and propulsion systems research","Guidance and Control Systems"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Control (management)","Computer science","Hypersonic speed","Aerospace engineering","Aeronautics","Control engineering","Engineering","Artificial intelligence"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Affordable and clean energy"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-23T15:13:16.295420Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
