A numerical investigation has been carried out to study the longitudinal performance of a hypersonic airbreathing vehicle with highly integrated triple-module scramjets. CFD-Fastran is used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle at inlet-open scramjet unpowered mode, and a chemical reacting code ChemTur3D has been built to evaluate the propulsion performance of the triple-module engines at scramjet powered mode. The flow conditions for the calculations include variations of angle of attack at Mach 5.85 test point. The wall pressure and surface friction are integrated to calculate drag, lift and pitching moment coefficients to predict the combined aeropropulsive force and moment characteristics during engine operation. Finally, numerical results is compared with available ground test data to assess solution accuracy, and a preflight aerodynamic database of the vehicle could be built for the hypersonic flight experiments.
