In order to obtain a minimized weight design for a hypersonic vehicle, a design system that involves integrating aeroheating analysis with thermal protection system (TPS) sizing has been developed. The design system has the capability to analyse aeroheating and TPS thermal response and to provide an optimization capability to determine the minimum thickness of the TPS materials required to prevent the underlying structure from exceeding its operating temperature limit. Features of this system are the extended capability to analyse thermal response of metallic multi-layer TPS with non-grey insulation and the smart TPS for next generation or future TPS design. The application of the above design system to a model spacecraft is presented, showing good agreement with previously obtained results, and proving its reliability for future design use. The application of the extended capabilities also shows that the above design system has strong applicability to the following generations of TPS materials.
