Abstract During the last decade, increasingly advanced turbocharger models have been developed for sizing, engine matching and one-dimensional modeling. This work goes further and, instead of using these models for turbocharged engines design or analysis, it implements them in the data acquisition and control system of a turbocharger gas stand. This way, interesting new capabilities arise. The paper shows that there are important synergies between advanced turbocharger gas stand data acquisition and control systems and the modern turbocharger holistic models that have not been deeply exploited until now. They can be summarized as: on-line heat fluxes analysis, in-situ outlier testing points detection, testing time saving and using digital-twin techniques to monitor turbocharger health during testing.

Integrated launch systems that include aerospace plane (ASP) and another heavy winged vehicle (plane or better Wing-in-Ground effect vehicle) as a booster are reviewed. It is shown that WIG-vehicle with a mass of 1500 ton or more is capable to carry ASP with initial mass of 500 ton and landing mass of 60-70 ton. Ekranoplane can provide ASP with the primary speed of Mach 0.5-0.65 in the required direction that allows lowering the design requirements to ASP's wing area and engines. A number of other advantages from the offered transport system are linked to possible use of WIG-vehicle at ASP landing. Heavy WIG-vehicle is unique vehicle for realizing the progressive idea of docking to descending ASP, allowing expanding opportunities of its landing. The problem of ASP horizontal landing without undercarriage by docking with other flying vehicle at the last stage of decent and the requirements to control systems for relative motion control of both vehicles are discussed. The progressive idea of joining space launch technologies with marine technologies is developed. It is especially important for countries with strongly limited areas of land territory but with easy access to the ocean.
