DOI: 10.16358/j.issn.1009-1300.20240195
Abstract:

Hypersonic technology has been positioned as a core domain of strategic competition among global powers. The weapon systems enabled by this technology, characterized by rapid response, superior penetration capability, negative defense, and high lethality, are held to be of significant importance for integrated offensive-defensive military systems and future intelligent warfare. Air-breathing hypersonic propulsion technology is regarded as the foundational pillar in this field. A survey of research progress in scramjet engines, detonation engines(including PDE, RDE, and ODE), and combined engines(induding RBCC and TBCC) is focused. Key bottlenecks in these technologies are analyzed, including issues related to fuel mixing and mode transition in scramjet engines, challenges associated with ignition initiation and suppression of pressure wave back-propagation in detonation engines, and difficulties in wide-speed-range coordination and matching in combined engines. Based on this analysis, it is proposed that future hypersonic propulsion technology will advance towards wider speed adaptability, expansion from military to civilian applications, intelligent upgrades, and multi-system integration. A reference for further exploration and application of the technology is intended to be provided.
