Supersonic civil aircraft is of a promising area in the development of future civil transport, and aircraft propulsion system is one of the key issues which determine the success of the aircraft. To get a good conceptual design and performance investigation of the supersonic civil aircraft engine, in this article, a fast, versatile as well as trust-worthy numerical simulation platform was established to analyze the Mach 4 turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine concept so as to be applied to the supersonic civil aircraft. First, a quick and accurate task requirement analysis module was newly established to analyze the mission requirement of the Mach 4 supersonic civil aircraft. Second, the TBCC engine performance simulation model was briefly presented and the number of engines on the supersonic civil aircraft was analyzed, considering single engine inoperative. Third, the Stone model and the DLR method were investigated to estimate the engine jet noise and the NOx emission of the Mach 4 supersonic civil aircraft. Finally, a multiobjective optimization tool made up of a response surface method and a genetic algorithm was developed to optimize the design parameters and the control law of the TBCC engine, in order to make the Mach 4 supersonic civil aircraft engine with better performance, lower noise, and lower emissions. The uniqueness of the developed analysis tool lies in that it affords a numerical simulation platform capable of investigating the task requirement analysis module of the supersonic civil aircraft, engine jet noise prediction model, and the NOx emission prediction model, as well as a multiobjective performance optimization tool, which is beneficial for the conceptual design and performance research of Mach 4 supersonic civil aircraft’s propulsion system.

The purpose of this paper is to study the conceptual design and optimization of a compound coaxial helicopter. At the conceptual design phase, the compound coaxial helicopter design work was based on the conventional helicopter and fix-wing aircraft design method. The intersection of these aspects makes the design work more complex, thus, a program for the sizing and performance optimization was developed for the aircraft. The program included the total weight design, aerodynamic analysis, flight dynamics analysis, performance calculation and particle swarm optimization analysis. Under the restricted condition of the flight performance requirements, optimize the design parameters which make the weight efficiency factor decrease. Therefore, the study of optimum design process was warranted.

A new Interactive Cycle System has been developed by General Electric’s Aircraft Engine Business Group for the cycle analysis and performance optimization of conceptual and preliminary engine designs. This paper will explore some of the considerations in moving from a large, well-known, batch, detailed design, modeling system to a low-cost, flexible, responsive, user-friendly, interactive cycle analysis system. The resulting system utilizes menu screens for user input and data review, a modular program structure with stacking of modules to achieve the desired engine configuration, a library of component characteristics augmented by parametric component map generators, and an interpretive reader to permit real-time logic creation without the need for compiling.

The gain model of the Yb-Er codoped optical waveguide amplifier as well as the gain equation has been established based on the analysis of energy level structure of Yb-Er codoped system and the related transition utilizing the rate and transmission equations, and then simulation of the gain characteristic has been carried out. Some most important parameters influencing the gain of the optical waveguide amplifier are discussed and the correlative conditions are optimized. Through numerical simulation, the parameter optimization scheme has been proposed, with which the pump wave length, power and the gain of the amplifier are optimized synchronously, and the maximum gain under the optimum length is obtained. Experimental results show good accordance with the numerical simulation.
