The analysis of air launched vehicles carrying payloads to low earth orbit is complex. The integration of the aircraft flight phase and the launch vehicle flight phase requires the integration of systems functioning from different energy relationships. System exergy balance provides a relationship to integrate the efficiency of the aircraft launcher and the efficiency of the launch vehicle in a single, integrated system assessment. The exergy balance of the aircraft flight phase can be calculated with the launch vehicle included as part of the vehicle mass. As exergy balance allows for separate of the masses, different velocities, and different propulsion systems to continue the mission analysis after separation through payload orbital insertion and aircraft landing. This paper presents the initial assessment of the aircraft launch phase up to separation of the launch vehicle. Showing the method of integration afforded by the system exergy balance relationship.
