Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention discloses an aerospace vehicle power system; specifically, it refers to a four-mode cycle engine propulsion system for a single-stage orbital power-fuselage integrated aircraft, belonging to the technical field of power propulsion systems for aviation and aerospace transport vehicles. Technical Background
[0002] In the context of the application of aerospace engineering technology in the world, how to expand the development space of human civilization depends on how inventors and designers conduct innovative research based on existing aerospace propulsion technology, integrate the technical advantages of aircraft propulsion systems and rocket propulsion systems, and create aerospace engines that can shuttle through the Earth's atmosphere, reach orbital speed and Earth escape speed, and adapt to low-Earth orbit, lunar and galaxy flights.
[0003] Since the 1930s, with the invention and application of aircraft engines and rocket aerospace engines and the improvement of engine technology performance, human scientists' dream of flying into space has been activated.
[0004] From the successful flight of the Wright brothers' first powered, heavier-than-air, controlled, manned aircraft in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, to the introduction of the 18-cylinder radial engine that powered the Wright Apache in 1928, and through the trials of World War II, aircraft engine technology has advanced significantly. With the advancement and continued development of aircraft technology, the dream of space exploration has been rekindled among human scientists. From the 1930s to the present, the technological approaches to space exploration have been divided into two major factions: the airplane approach and the rocket approach.
[0005] Aircraft-style: Single-stage orbital spaceplanes feature an integrated power-fuselage design, allowing for horizontal takeoff and landing and autonomous flight into space. The propulsion system for single-stage orbital spaceplanes combines an aircraft engine with a space rocket engine. Austrian engineer Eugen Sanger proposed the "Silverbird" concept in 1930. His advanced design principles were proven scientifically correct through decades of subsequent scientific experiments, serving as a model for subsequent inventors and designers. For example, from Silverbird to the US X-15, X-30, and SpaceShipTwo 1 and 2.
[0006] Rocketry: Space planes that use dual-stage orbital or multi-stage piggyback launches. In the early 20th century, with the continued advancement and development of aircraft engine technology, Rocketry advocates sought a different approach: using rocket-launched space planes to explore space and develop space tourism. Technologically advanced space planes using dual-stage orbital or multi-stage piggyback launches include the Soviet Buran and the US X-37B.
[0007] At present, the engine technology bottleneck and the high-temperature heat protection bottleneck of the materials of the single-stage and double-stage orbital space plane propulsion system are difficult to break through. The double-stage orbital or backpack-type multi-stage launch space planes "Buran" and "X-37B" have large launch mass, extremely small payload and high cost; the multi-stage launch procedure is complicated, the multi-stage separation technology is unstable, and the re-entry space plane faces high-temperature thermal barriers during unpowered gliding return, which fails to meet the actual application requirements of aerospace engineering technology.
[0008] The History of Space Exploration: From 1961 to 1962, astronauts from the Soviet Union and the United States successively entered space. By 1972, the Soviet and American Soyuz missions, respectively, had successfully launched manned lunar exploration, satellites, spacecraft (the space shuttle), and perfected docking technology for the International Space Station. Launch vehicle space exploration opened a window into human exploration of space civilization and has become a keystone of human history, science, and civilization. By 2020, with the successful relaunch of the United States' Constellation lunar exploration program, rocket technology had reached its peak.
[0009] The limitations of rocket launches for space exploration include single-use, minimal payloads (such as the Soyuz, Apollo, and Orion missions), high launch costs, and non-reusability. To reduce costs, Elon Musk in the United States developed a reusable rocket engine to restart lunar exploration. However, the Falcon 9 orbital and lunar-landing stage rocket weighed 9,500 tons, with a payload capacity of only six passengers, two astronauts, and 100 kilograms of lunar rocks. Therefore, space exploration and the development and utilization of space resources have been relegated to single-stage, orbital-to-spaceplanes with integrated power and fuselage. First, rocket launches are expensive due to their single-use nature; second, their enormous launch mass and minimal payload make them unsuitable as a transportation tool for space resource development.
[0010] Advantages of space planes: They are reusable, fully utilize atmospheric air, and their large propellant, passenger, and cargo compartments can serve as space transportation. After orbital refueling, the aircraft can reach the moon. However, the greatest technological challenge in aerospace engineering applications lies in the space engine.
[0011] Aerospace engines: Single-stage orbital propulsion systems with integrated power and fuselage, multi-mode cycle propulsion systems. Aerospace engines are the ultimate challenge in aerospace engineering applications. Currently, aviation and aerospace engines are separate in the global engine technology landscape, with no integrated aerospace engine.
[0012] 1. Aerospace engines: rocket engines, pulse combustion engines, ramjet engines, scramjet engines, and turbine engines.
[0013] 2. Comparison of various engines: The five types of engines each have their strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes using them together becomes a burden:
[0014] (1) Pulse combustion engines, ramjets, and scramjets are lightweight, simple in structure, and low in cost;
[0015] (2) Liquid-fuel rocket engine technology is mature and suitable for space flight;
[0016] (3) The acceleration performance of turbojet engines at Mach 0 to 3 is the basis for their widespread application, but the cost is high (the engine cost of an ordinary fighter jet is over 1 million US dollars). Turbine engines are complex in structure and heavy in weight. For example, the turbojet used in fighter jets, China's WS-7: 8 turbine blades, weight 1.19 tons, length 4.6 meters. The US F119: 11 turbine blades, weight 1.36 tons, length 4.8 meters. In terms of thermal efficiency, even a jet engine with 17 turbine blades has only 35%, while ramjet and scramjet engines can reach more than 90% at Mach 3 to 16.
[0017] (4) Ramjet and scramjet engines have high fuel specific impulse and thermal efficiency, simple structure, light weight and high speed, but they do not have static start capability and need to be supplemented by other engines. In 1934, the patent for ramjet aircraft obtained by René Reduc of France was a combination of booster rocket and ramjet engine. Recently, the unmanned ultra-high-speed long-range (40,000 km) bomber developed by the United States is powered by a combination of ramjet engine and turbojet engine. It uses turbojet engine for takeoff and ramjet engine when the speed is greater than 0.5 Mach (at this time, the turbojet engine becomes a burden). It can reach a speed of more than 10 Mach at an altitude of 30 kilometers and can rush out of the atmosphere at a speed of 16 Mach at a height of 60 kilometers. After shutting down the engine, it can glide for hundreds of kilometers. After entering the atmosphere, the ramjet engine will re-ignite and then rise again. The water-skiing flight can reach any place in the world within 2 hours. However, it is difficult to break through the bottleneck of engine technology and the bottleneck of high temperature resistance of materials.
[0018] (5) Pulse, ramjet, scramjet, and turbine engines are only suitable for use within the atmosphere, while rocket engines do not have this limitation.
[0019] Technical bottlenecks of aerospace engines and the current status of their R&D and technology:
[0020] 1. R&D Process: Research and development of aerospace engines in the global aviation and aerospace engine field began in the 1960s and has spanned 80 years. This research and development focuses on exploring the advantages and potential of scramjet engines. Russia and the United States are leading the way in this field. The US X-43 scramjet hypersonic program, launched in 1964, achieved a Mach 6.68 speed during flight testing in 1997, with a sustained burn of 10 seconds. In 1998, flight tests of the US-Russia joint scramjet hypersonic program achieved Mach 6.8 for 20 seconds and Mach 10 for 10 seconds.
[0021] In 2003, based on the test results obtained in the cooperation project with Russia, the United States restarted the X-43A hypersonic program. The flight test achieved test results of Mach 6.68, burning for 10 seconds, and Mach 9.86, burning for 3 seconds.
[0022] The above-mentioned experimental results of scramjet combustion in hypersonic airflow have proved the scientific nature and feasibility of hypersonic combustion.
[0023] 2. Four technical bottlenecks that are difficult to overcome: There are still four technical bottlenecks that are difficult to overcome when applying the experimental results to aerospace engines in aerospace engineering. These are: (1) Smooth transition and automatic switching of various modes of multi-mode cycle engines in the full envelope flight range; (2) Full mixing of air and fuel in various modes of flight; (3) Ignition at various Mach speeds during flight; and (4) Stable flame transmission and continuous combustion of the flame stabilizer.
[0024] 3. Flame stabilizer: Flame stabilization and sustained combustion have always been associated with the development of aerospace engines: The existing flame stabilizers in the field of aerospace engine technology in the world include: (1) the vertical fuel injection flame stabilizer on the wall of the scramjet engine combustion chamber invented and developed by Russia; (2) the support plate flame stabilizer; (3) the backward step flame stabilizer developed by the United States; (4) the cavity flame stabilizer developed by Russia, and the parallel and series multi-acoustic cavity flame stabilizers developed by the United States and Japan on this basis. The above-mentioned various flame stabilizers have their own strengths and weaknesses. They all cause total pressure loss to varying degrees, affect speed, increase structural mass, and have a small flame range. They are easily extinguished during high-Mach flight and are difficult to re-ignite under the impact of high-altitude hypersonic airflow.
[0025] 4. Cutting-Edge Flame Holder Technology: Experimental results from China's "Standing Oblique Detonation Pulsating Ramjet Hypersonic Combustion" and the United States' "Oblique Detonation Pulsating Ramjet Hypersonic Combustion" have solved the problem of flameout during hypersonic flight. This, in turn, presents three significant technical challenges: safe control of the flames detonated by liquid and solid propellants; ensuring the high-temperature resistance, detonation strength, and toughness of materials for high-intensity detonation shocks; and silencing the high-frequency detonation noise. Experts in the field of aerospace science and technology predict that this invention is still in the experimental stage and is far from practical application in aerospace engineering. Overcoming these three challenges will require several generations of dedicated research and development, as well as advancements in fundamental process and material technologies.

[0033] The turbofan disc assembly 2-6-1 is a hybrid disc consisting of three-stage axial compressor hollow supersonic turbofan blades, hollow power turbine blades and guide vanes.
[0034] Duct Airflow Distribution: When the turbofan disk diameter is 1.2 meters, the headwind airflow to ducts 1, 2, and 4 is distributed based on the cross-sectional area of the predetermined duct annular diameter difference. Duct 1 receives 18-19% of the total headwind airflow, duct 2 receives 60%, and duct 4 receives 21-22%. (Annular diameter difference is the difference between the diameter of the first isolation seal ring and the turbofan base disk diameter; the difference between the diameter of the third isolation seal ring and the second isolation seal ring diameter; and so on for the other ducts.)

[0040] The compressed cold air of the first duct enters the first fan-out disk 2-6-2-1 and is then introduced into the second combustion chamber by its guide disk; the compressed cold air of the second duct is mixed with the gas of the third duct and enters the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2, and is then introduced into the vector airflow distribution air collecting hood by its guide disk; the compressed cold air of the fourth duct enters the first fan-out disk 2-6-2-1 and is then guided out by its guide disk, and all the way through the compressed cold air front delivery pipe 2-6-2-3 to provide the RCW engine combustion chamber with the oxygen-containing compressed air required for the air-fuel-rocket closed combustion. The other route provides the YRC engine's combustion chamber with oxygen-containing compressed air required for the air-fuel-rocket closed combustion through the compressed cold air rear delivery pipe 2-6-2-4; part of the compressed cold air from the 4th duct is mixed with part of the fuel gas from the 3rd duct and enters the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2, and is discharged through its guide disk. One route provides cooling gas for the RCW engine combustion chamber wall through the compressed hot exhaust gas front delivery pipe 2-6-2-5, and the other route provides cooling gas for the YRC engine's combustion chamber wall through the compressed hot exhaust gas rear delivery pipe 2-6-2-6.

[0045] The inner fuel injection disc 2-8-1 provides fuel for the inner ring combustion chamber 2-9-1, and the outer fuel injection disc 2-8-2 provides fuel for the outer ring combustion chamber 2-9-2. The fuel in the inner ring combustion chamber 2-9-1 is ignited by the silane igniter nozzle 2-8-3 in the center of the second combustion chamber 2-9, and its combustion gas serves as a stable fire source for the outer ring combustion chamber 2-9-2 to form a gaseous pneumatic plug 2-9-3.

[0048] The YRC engine 3, the third fuel injection disc 3-3 includes an integrally arranged rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1, a ram fuel injection disc 3-3-2 and a super-ram fuel injection disc 3-3-3 arranged at the super-ram fuel intake port 3-1-3 of the outer duct, the rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1 has a smaller diameter and is coaxially embedded in the ram fuel injection disc 3-3-2, the rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1 and the ram fuel injection disc 3-3-2 are both provided with at least one circle of fuel injection nozzles 3-3-1-1, 3-3-2-2; a silane injection igniter 3-3-4 is provided at the center of the rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1; the fuel injection nozzles 3-3-1-1 and 3-3-2-2 are piston structures composed of an oil-control inner heat pipe and an outer sleeve; 6 hydraulic pipes, fuel, and hot exhaust gas support channels 3-3-5 are evenly distributed around the ram fuel injection disc 3-3-2.
[0049] The rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1 provides fuel for the rocket combustion chamber, and the ramjet fuel injection disc 3-3-2 provides fuel for the ramjet combustion chamber. When the fuel in the rocket combustion chamber is ignited by the silane jet igniter 3-3-4 located in the center of the rocket fuel injection disc 3-3-1, its combustion gas becomes a stable fire source for the ramjet combustion chamber, forming a gaseous pneumatic plug 3-4-4.

[0051] The present invention relates to an aerospace vehicle power system, wherein the vector airflow distribution system 4 is provided with a vector airflow distribution air collecting cover 4-1, and the vector airflow distribution air collecting cover 4-1 is provided on the outer shell of the centrifugal compressor at the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2 of the RCW engine. After the compressed cold air of the second duct is mixed with the gas of the third duct and enters the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2, it is introduced into the vector airflow distribution air collecting cover by its guide disk 4-1-7. The vector airflow distribution air collecting cover 4-1 is provided with an axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9 and an axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10.

[0052] When the axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 moves forward and is sealed with the outer shell 4-1-11 of the guide disk of the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2, and the wave peaks of the axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 and the axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9 are misaligned, the second ducted mixed hot air flow passes through the radial annular and axial curved channel 4-1-12 between the axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9 and the axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10, and is sprayed toward the outer wall of the second combustion chamber to cool the combustion tube, and then is expanded and ejected through the central trumpet mouth, thereby forming vector thrust for low-altitude and low-speed cruising.
[0053] When the axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 moves backward and is sealed with the wave crest of the axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9, the second ducted mixed hot air flow enters the vector air flow distribution air collecting hood 4-1 and is then output through the vector air flow bend 4-1-1, forming a vector power source for the aircraft's take-off and landing, hovering and aerospace maneuvers.
[0054] Advantages of the present invention
[0055] Compared with the world's aerospace engine technology field, the present invention has the following outstanding advantages:
[0056] 1. The air intake system 1 of the aerospace engine (abbreviated as YRCW) of the present invention connects the central engine RCW2 and the left and right rear engines YRC3 into an integral whole, and provides compressed cold air and compressed hot exhaust gas to the central engine RCW and the rear engines YRC respectively through the turbine axial flow and centrifugal assembly disks 2-6 provided in the central engine RCW; by regulating the working state of the air intake structure of the central engine RCW and the rear engines YRC, the combustion working conditions of their combustion chambers are changed to be in a closed or open state, and at the same time, combined with the supply of compressed cold air, fuel and liquid oxygen input, the four-mode conversion of the central engine RCW to a ramjet turbine engine, a ramjet engine, an air-fuel rocket engine, and a liquid oxygen-fuel rocket engine is achieved, and the four-mode conversion of the rear engines YRC to a ramjet engine, a scramjet engine, an air-fuel-rocket engine, and a liquid oxygen-fuel-rocket engine is achieved. The YRCW aerospace engine combines the advantages of multiple engines, which are interdependent and non-burdensome. It fully utilizes the buoyancy of the air, oxygen and working medium in the atmosphere, reduces the fuel load and the weight of the aircraft, and improves the aircraft's payload ratio. It has a flight speed of more than 25 Mach, a flight altitude of more than 80,000 kilometers, and a manufacturing cost of less than US$100,000.
[0057] 2. Unlike traditional turbine engines, the RCW2's combustion chamber features a ramjet-style burner, capable of operating in air-breathing ramjet, air-fuel-rocket, ramjet, and liquid oxygen-fuel-rocket modes. The RCW engine's ramjet-style combustor features the burner at the front, with the turbine and axial-flow and centrifugal compressors integrated into a single disc at the rear. This structural advantage allows for adjustable internal engine operating mode switching. Specifically, the geometric positions of the operating mode switching valves for the intake system's piston inner sleeves 1-4, intake cone 2-1-1, ramjet-type intake valve 2-1-2, the 12 cold air support channels 2-1-7 of the cold air hood 2-1-5, the six hot exhaust support channels of the hot exhaust hood 2-1-6, and the six fuel support channels 2-8-4 are adjustable, enabling the engine to switch between various operating modes.
[0058] The traditional turbine engine has the intake compressor in the front, the combustion chamber in the middle, and the power turbine in the back, so its combustion chamber can only adapt to the turbine engine working conditions and cannot adapt to the conversion of four-mode working conditions.
[0059] 3. The high-temperature, high-pressure airflow from the ramjet or rocket-type combustion chamber combustion tubes of the turbine axial-flow and centrifugal assembly disks 2-6 in the central engine RCW impacts the turbine of the turbofan disk, driving the axial-flow intake compressor and the centrifugal compressor of the fan-out disk. The compressed airflow is distributed through four ducts, and enters the high-pressure cold air collection hood and the hot exhaust gas collection hood, respectively, to provide compressed cold air for closed combustion, medium-temperature, high-pressure cooling gas, and vectored injection gas for the RCW and YRC engines, respectively. This completes the multi-mode conversion and thrust afterburning, vectored injection, exhaust gas cooling, air compression, and air cooling functions of the RCW and YRC engines, enabling various maneuvering functions of the aircraft, including horizontal take-off and landing, vertical take-off and landing, hovering, rapid translation, high-speed U-turn, aerial cruising, space shuttle, and satellite-style patrol.
[0060] 4. The two-stage annular oil spray discs 2-8-1 and 2-8-2 provided in the RCW second combustion chamber of the YRCW engine of the present invention are stacked together with the two-stage annular combustion tubes 2-9-1 and 2-9-2 to form a whole. The two-stage annular oil spray discs 3-3-1 and 3-3-2 provided in the third combustion chamber of the YRC engine are stacked together with the two-stage annular combustion tubes 3-4-1 and 4-1-2 to form a whole. Once the mixed oil and gas in the two-stage annular combustion chamber is ignited by the silane igniter on the central support seat of the two-stage oil pan, the gas in the closed combustion of the combustion chamber acts as a stable fire source, becoming a gaseous pneumatic plug of the flame stabilizer, providing an ignition source for the engine during mode conversion.
[0061] The gaseous aerodynamic plug of the present invention is composed of closed combustion gas instead of directly using air. Therefore, it is not affected by atmospheric pressure and flight speed, has no structural mass, does not cause total pressure loss, has adjustable flame size, and burns continuously and stably. It can adapt to the different flight speed requirements of aerospace vehicles within the full flight envelope, and ensure the reliability of ignition and the continuous stability of combustion during the mode conversion of the engine under supersonic and hypersonic conditions. The present invention can adjust the position, shape, and size of the gaseous aerodynamic plug by adjusting the amount of fuel injected by the fuel injection disc. When the amount of fuel injected by the inner ring fuel injection disc of the combustion chamber is small, the tail cone formed is short, and the gas ejected from the outer ring combustion chamber shrinks toward the center. The plug-type wake flow has a high speed and is suitable for high-altitude and high-speed conditions. When the amount of fuel injected by the inner ring fuel injection disc is large, the tail cone formed is long, or even trumpet-shaped, and the gas ejected from the outer ring combustion chamber expands outward, which is suitable for low-altitude and low-speed conditions.
[0062] This invention breaks through the bottleneck of detonation flameout in supersonic and hypersonic conditions in the field of aerospace engine technology. By employing a pneumatic plug design, it solves the problem of the Laval tube's throat diameter being difficult to adjust. This overcomes the shortcomings of solid plugs currently being researched in the aerospace engine community, including difficulty adjusting and cooling, heavy structural mass, high total pressure loss, and a small, easily extinguished flame.
[0063] 5. The medium-temperature and high-pressure hot exhaust gas from the vector airflow distribution hood 4-1 set in RCW2 is output through the vector airflow distributor 4-1-2, and is transported to the front three-point downward spray vector airflow shutters, the horizontal nozzles on both sides, and the tail delta wing rotating nozzle through the front transmission pipe and the left and right pipes to maintain the balance of the aircraft's horizontal take-off and landing, vertical take-off and landing, hovering in the air, steady-state flight, and aerospace maneuvers.
[0064] In today's world of aviation engines, representative aircraft with advanced vertical take-off and landing capabilities include: Sea Harrier, Yak-141, F35, helicopters and Osprey V-22. Their vertical take-off and landing and horizontal injection systems have heavy structural weight, high fuel consumption, large mechanical transmission losses, and extremely unreliable conversion between vertical injection and horizontal injection. The load capacity, range, and horizontal flight speed are all limited. Both vertical take-off and landing and hovering in the air consume a lot of fuel.
[0065] The guide vanes of the vectored airflow louvers of the present invention have a wide range of backward and forward tilt angles, require no rotating device, and feature a simple structure, low bulk, and low fuel consumption. Because the vectored airflow nozzles of the vectored airflow injection system produce no air backflow, the fresh air in the first combustion chamber of the first duct has a normal oxygen content, complete combustion, and rapid acceleration. After reaching Mach 0.2-0.4 in 5-10 seconds, the louvers can be closed, and the vectored airflow is converted to a rearward jet to cool the outer casing of the second combustion chamber, thereby generating vectored thrust for the aircraft's low-speed cruise. Once the engine reaches Mach 0.6 or higher, the ramjet operation of the first and second combustion chambers of the central RCW can be initiated.
[0066] The front, back, left, and right horizontal vector nozzles on the YRCW aerospace aircraft's wing surface can translate quickly and swiftly from side to side when hovering, and can rotate on the spot faster than helicopters that rely on tail propellers. Its various aerospace maneuverability is stronger than that of existing flight platforms.
[0067] 6. When the air is at an altitude of 60 kilometers or above and the atmosphere is close to vacuum, the central air intake duct piston inner sleeve 1-4 moves forward and closes with the top of the rectifier cone to seal the central air intake duct and prevent the hot gas of the central engine from leaking forward.
[0068] The axial sliding of the conical ram air intake valve 2-1-2 is controlled by the hydraulic system to open or close the conical ram air intake valve 2-1-2 and the intake cone port 2-1-1 to switch the combustion conditions of the combustion chamber.
[0069] When the flight speed of the aircraft is between 0 and 0.2 Mach, the hydraulic system keeps the conical ramjet valve 2-1-2 closing the intake truncated cone 2-1-1, and the incoming air flows along the outer edge of the intake truncated cone into the turbine axial flow intake duct 2-1-4. The turbine rotates at high speed, and the hollow supersonic turbofan blades, guide vanes and centrifugal blades compress the fresh cold air in the 1st, 2nd and 4th ducts, and outputs the high-pressure fresh cold air through the forward delivery pipe 2-6-2-3 of the first fan disc 2-6-2-1, providing the RCW engine combustion chamber with the oxygen-containing compressed air required for the closed combustion of air-fuel-rocket. The RCW central engine combustion chamber then forms a closed combustion air-fuel rocket working condition.
[0070] When the aircraft speed reaches 0.2 Mach or above, the cross-sectional area of the central inlet piston inner sleeve 1-4 is only 0.28m 2 , is the cross-sectional area of the air inlet channel 2m 2 At 1 / 7 of the original engine's mass, the airflow within the smaller central intake piston inner sleeve 1-4, driven by the intake of the turbine's axial-flow and centrifugal discs 2-6, reaches a velocity of approximately Mach 1. At this point, headwind pressure pushes the hydraulically deactivated conical ramjet valve 2-1-2 back into the first diffuser chamber, allowing airflow to enter the first diffuser chamber directly through the intake truncated cone 2-1-1. This deceleration causes a sharp increase in pressure, establishing ramjet combustion conditions in the first and second RCW combustion chambers. The design of the central intake piston inner sleeve 1-4 overcomes the principle that a ramjet engine must reach Mach 0.5 for proper operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption.
[0071] 7. The YRCW boasts a high takeoff mass-to-payload ratio. The YRCW's propulsion system integrates a single-stage YRCW engine into a single-stage, orbital power unit, maximizing its mass-to-payload ratio. The YRCW can be equipped with one or two additional ramjet-rocket engines on either side to meet transportation needs. A spaceport can be established in low-Earth orbit to provide refueling, oxygenation, and the replenishment of vital supplies for the YRCW's journey to the moon.
[0072] The moon's orbital velocity relative to Earth is Mach 2.8. When the YRCW vehicle is idling in space, the hot exhaust from the second duct is ejected through a micro-Laval tube, accelerating it to 38 m / s (12.93 km / s). It takes three days to reach a distance of 384,000 km from the moon. When approaching the moon by 4,000 to 10,000 km, the YRCW can turn around and slow down, landing on the moon in a hovering vertical landing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0101] The turbofan disc assembly 2-6-1 is a hybrid disc consisting of three-stage axial compressor hollow supersonic turbofan blades, hollow power turbine blades and guide vanes.
[0102] Duct Airflow Distribution: When the turbofan disk diameter is 1.2 meters, the headwind airflow to ducts 1, 2, and 4 is distributed based on the cross-sectional area of the predetermined duct annular diameter difference. Duct 1 receives 18-19% of the total headwind airflow, duct 2 receives 60%, and duct 4 receives 21-22%. (Annular diameter difference is the difference between the diameter of the first isolation seal ring and the turbofan disk diameter; the difference between the diameter of the third isolation seal ring and the diameter of the second isolation seal ring; and so on for the other ducts.)
[0103] The deflector discs are located between each stage of the turbofan discs. The fourth outer ring of the deflector discs is the engine casing, while the deflector disc casing of the fan-off disc is the centrifugal compressor casing. The front of each stage casing houses the first turbofan disc. Each stage casing is secured to the preceding and succeeding stage casings with isolation and sealing rings, secured with screws for easy removal and maintenance.
[0104] Power turbine temperature drop: Turbofan disks are generally 3-stage, and each stage of the power turbine can reduce the gas temperature by about 90-110°C. The same 3-stage turbofan disk can reach 5-7 or even 9 stages or more according to the engine power requirements, so as to output greater power and minimize the exhaust gas temperature.
[0105] The fan-out disk: There are two levels of fan-out disks behind the multi-stage turbofan disk:
[0106] 1. First-stage fan disc 2-6-2-1: This is welded together with the hollow supersonic turbofan blades and guide vanes of the first and second ducts, the power turbine blades and guide vanes of the third duct, and the centrifugal compressor blades and guide vanes of the fourth duct, along with the isolation and sealing rings of each duct. High-pressure cold air from the fourth duct is delivered via forward delivery duct 2-6-2-3 to the central first combustion chamber, providing high-pressure fresh air for closed-loop combustion. The compressed cold air rear delivery duct 2-6-2-4 supplies the high-pressure air required for the air-fuel-rocket operation of the ramjets on both sides.
[0107] 2. Second-stage fan disc 2-6-2-2: The hollow supersonic turbofan blades and guide vanes of the first and second ducts, the power turbine blades and guide vanes of the third duct, and the centrifugal blades and guide vanes of the fourth duct centrifugal compressor are welded to the isolation sealing rings of each duct. The third duct centrifugal compressor provides high-pressure, medium-temperature cooling gas of about 450°C-500°C to the central first and third combustion chambers through the forward delivery pipe 2-6-2-5 and the rear delivery pipe 2-6-2-6.
[0108] The compressed cold air of the first duct enters the first fan-out disk 2-6-2-1 and is then introduced into the second combustion chamber by its guide disk; the compressed cold air of the second duct is mixed with the gas of the third duct and enters the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2 and is then introduced into the vector airflow distribution air collecting hood by its guide disk; the compressed cold air of the fourth duct enters the first fan-out disk 2-6-2-1 and is then guided out by its guide disk, and all the way through the compressed cold air front delivery pipe 2-6-2-3 to provide the RCW engine combustion chamber with the oxygen-containing compressed air required for the air-fuel-rocket closed combustion. The other route provides the YRC engine's combustion chamber with oxygen-containing compressed air required for the air-fuel-rocket closed combustion through the compressed cold air rear delivery pipe 2-6-2-4; part of the compressed cold air from the 4th duct is mixed with part of the fuel gas from the 3rd duct and then enters the second fan-out disc 2-6-2-2 and is then discharged through its guide disc. One route provides cooling air for the RCW engine combustion chamber wall through the compressed hot exhaust gas front delivery pipe 2-6-2-5, and the other route provides cooling air for the YRC engine combustion chamber wall through the compressed hot exhaust gas rear delivery pipe 2-6-2-6.

[0122] Computer simulation experimental data of the YRCW aerospace engine of the present invention
[0123] YRCW utilizes the buoyancy of air at altitudes between 0 and 40 km, as well as the mass of oxygen and air involved in the after-expulsion. Therefore, calculations cannot be based solely on the equations for horizontal rocket launches; instead, they must be based on the formulas for action, reaction, and velocity. At altitudes between 30 and 60 km, oxygen levels are insufficient, requiring liquid oxygen supplementation. At altitudes between 60 and 100 km, air levels are negligible, requiring calculations based on the equations for horizontal rocket launches.
[0124] The computer simulation experiment of the present invention adopts the American SimuLnK simulation calculation software, and imports the action force, reaction force and speed formula and the rocket horizontal launch equation, the speed of the YRCW aerospace engine in various working conditions and the total mass data of the YRCW engine and the aircraft, fuel data, and the physical data of the earth's gravity and the atmosphere into the SimuLnK model. Then, the MATLAB algorithm is integrated into the model in SimuLnK, and the inclined velocity obtained by the predetermined elevation angle of the YRCW is used to calculate the horizontal velocity component and the vertical ascent velocity component, and the simulation data results are exported for further analysis.
[0125] Solution 1: Simulation result data:
[0126] Preset conditions: Pitch angle 0-30 degrees; medium YRCW takeoff gross weight 52 tons;
[0127] Air inlet cross-sectional area: 2m 2 ;
[0128] The equivalent of complete combustion of CH compound (kerosene) with air is: air:kerosene = 14.78:1 (equivalent to: oxygen:kerosene = 2.956:1);
[0129]
[0130]
[0131] Solution 1: Evaluation summary of simulation results:
[0132] The YRCW aerospace vehicle weighs 5-6 tons, takes off at 50-52 tons, and carries 11 tons of fuel and 17 tons of liquid oxygen. It consumes 6.4-7 tons of fuel and 7.6-7 tons of liquid oxygen to reach a low orbit at an altitude of 140 km. One orbital orbit consumes 0.5-1 ton of electrical power and 1.5-3 tons of liquid oxygen. The return flight, inverted from -24m to -23m, consumes 1.2 tons of fuel and 3.6 tons of liquid oxygen. Total fuel consumption is 8.5-9 tons, and liquid oxygen is 14-15 tons. The remaining mass is 28 tons, with 2 tons of fuel and 2 tons of liquid oxygen remaining. The estimated payload is 15-16 tons.
[0133] Analysis and optimization: In Scheme 1, although the YRCW utilizes the air buoyancy and oxygen at an altitude of 0 to 40 km and the mass of air participating in the after-spray, the oxygen in the thin air at an altitude of 30 to 60 km is insufficient and liquid oxygen needs to be supplemented. The air buoyancy and oxygen in the air are not optimally utilized. The ramjet engine is suitable for operating conditions of 1.5M to 5M, and the scramjet engine is suitable for operating conditions of 5M to 12M, and can also reach a limit of 25M, but it must operate at an altitude of 30 to 40km. Only at high speed can it inhale enough air, and the thin air can avoid thermal barriers.

[0140] Scheme 2: Simulation Results Evaluation Summary: Based on flight envelope optimization, the aerospace vehicle weighs 5-6 tons, takes off with a weight of 52 tons, and carries 11 tons of fuel and 11 tons of liquid oxygen. Entering a low-orbit altitude of 110 km consumes 7-8 tons of fuel and 3.5-4 tons of liquid oxygen. One orbital orbit consumes 0.5-1 ton of electrical power and 1.5-3 tons of liquid oxygen. Return flight from -24m to -23m consumes 0.7 tons of fuel and 1.9 tons of liquid oxygen. Total fuel consumption and liquid oxygen consumption are 9 tons, leaving a residual mass of 34 tons, 2 tons of fuel, and 2 tons of liquid oxygen. The estimated payload is 22-24 tons. Therefore, flight envelope optimization requires significant attention.
[0141] The working principle of the present invention is briefly described below:
[0142] The aerospace vehicle power system of the present invention is installed on the aerospace vehicle and operated according to the following steps:
[0143] Step 1: Start the YRCW engine and take off the aircraft - speed 0 Mach - 0.6 Mach
[0144] (1) Horizontal takeoff: When the YRCW engine is started for the first time, the fuel and silane in the first oil pan assembly 2-3 are pre-pressurized, the airflow distribution plates 1-1 on both sides of the air intake are adjusted to slope, covering the outer air intake 1-3, and all the airflow from the air intake 1 on both sides enters the inner air intake 1-2 of the central engine RCW. The conical ramjet inlet valve 2-1-2 of the central engine RCW and the conical ramjet inlet valve 3-1-1 of the left and right rear engines YRC are hydraulically moved forward, closing the RCW intake truncated cone port 2-1-1 and the YRC intake truncated cone port 3-1-2. The reluctance generator / motor 2-5 is in motor mode, driving the turbine axial flow and centrifugal assembly disk 2-6 to rotate, and the RCW turbine axial flow inlet 2-1 -4 is compressed by the axial flow intake of the three-stage turbine and then centrifugally compressed by the first fan-out disk 2-6-2-1 to obtain the compressed fresh cold air, which is then delivered to the first cold air collecting hood 2-1-5 through the compressed cold air front delivery pipe 2-6-2-3. At this time, the pressure of the compressed fresh cold air has reached more than 2068 kPa. The compressed cold air is then evenly introduced into the first diffusion chamber 2-2 for diffusion through the 12 first delivery support channels 2-1-7 provided in the first cold air collecting hood 2-1-5, and then enters the first combustion chamber 2-4. The inner annular oil pan of the first oil pan assembly 2-3 is sprayed with oil, and the silane igniter 2-3-1-1 ignites and burns. The RCW first combustion chamber then forms a closed combustion air-fuel-rocket working condition.
[0145] The gas generated by combustion is delivered to the annular gas collecting tank 2-4-3 through the six gas delivery pipes 2-4-2 provided in the combustion chamber 2-4. The gas is guided by the guide vanes in the annular gas collecting tank 2-4-3 and then ejected through the guide nozzle to impact the power turbine, driving the turbofan disk and the fan-out disk to rotate at high speed. At this time, the front and rear reluctance generators / motors 2-5 are in the generator state.
[0146] The closed combustion air-fuel-rocket working condition combustion gas of the first combustion chamber 2-4 impacts the turbofan disk and the fan-out disk. The hot exhaust gas after high-speed rotation and compression enters the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2 through the third duct, and is discharged through its guide disk and enters the first hot exhaust gas collecting hood 2-1-6 and the second hot exhaust gas collecting hood 3-1-6 respectively, providing cooling gas for the combustion chamber walls of the RCW engine and the YRC engine. At this time, the medium-temperature hot exhaust gas of the second duct enters the vector airflow distribution hood 4-1 through the guide disk of the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2. When the axially movable guide throat moves forward and is sealed with the outer shell 4-1-11 of the guide disk of the second fan-out disk 2-6-2-2, the fixed guide throat 4-1-9 and the axially movable guide throat 4-1-10 are misaligned, and the mixed hot air flow of the second duct is ejected into the channel 4-1-12 between the outer wall of the second combustion chamber 2-9 and the RCW engine casing through the radial annular and axial curved channels between the axially fixed guide throat 4-1-9 and the axially movable guide throat 4-1-10 to cool the outer wall of the combustion chamber, and then is ejected through the central trumpet expansion pressure, thereby driving the aerospace vehicle to glide.
[0147] When the axially movable guide throat 4-1-10 moves backward to align with the wave crest of the axially fixed guide throat 4-1-9, the mixed hot air from the second duct enters the vector airflow distribution hood 4-1, passes through the left and right vector airflow elbows 4-1-1, and enters the vector airflow micro-distributor 4-1-2. The vector injection system then controls the three-point downward spray vector shutters 4-8, 4-9, and 4-10 to spray air toward the ground, causing the aerospace vehicle to rise. At the same time, the second combustion chamber 2-9 ignites, propelling the aerospace vehicle to rapidly accelerate away from the runway until the aerospace vehicle reaches a flight speed of Mach 0.6. At this point, the second combustion chamber 2-9 is in a closed combustion air rocket mode.
[0148] (2) Vertical takeoff: The RCW engine is started (same as in scheme (1)). After the first combustion chamber 2-4 is ignited and burned, the axial movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 in the engine vector airflow system 4 is moved backward to be sealed with the wave crest of the axial fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9. The second ducted mixed hot air flow enters the vector airflow distribution air collecting cover 4-1, and enters the vector airflow micro-distributor 4-1-2 through the left and right vector airflow bends 4-1-1. Fine-tuning is performed to maintain the balance of the aircraft for vertical takeoff. The fine-tuned vector airflow is transported to the front three-point down-spray vector airflow through the front and left and right pipes. Vanes 4-8, 4-9, and 4-10 spray. The outer ring of the first oil pan 2-3 in the RCW central engine sprays oil, increasing the flow rate of the downjet vectored hot air. When the aircraft vertically rises to 2-5 meters, the second combustion chamber injector disc 2-8 sprays and ignites, accelerating to above Mach 0.2. The rear downjet vectored air shutters gradually close. The axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 moves forward, forming a partially sealed seal with the guide disc housing 4-1-11 of the second fan disc 2-6-2-2. A very small portion of the second ducted mixed hot air flows into the front downjet vectored air shutters 4-8 for upward-lift vectored injection. Left and right ducts deliver the air to the left and right vectored flaps for preparatory injection. The majority of the air flows through the radial annular and axially curved channels 4-1-12 between the axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9 and the axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10, ejecting it into the outer wall channel of the second combustion chamber. It then expands and exits through the central bell mouth. The aircraft enters subsonic flight.
[0149] Step 2: The flight speed of the aerospace vehicle is from 0.6 Mach to 0.8 Mach.
[0150] When the flight speed of the aerospace vehicle reaches Mach 0.6 or above, the airflow distribution plates 1-1 on both sides of the air inlet are adjusted to gradually leave the ramp peak to distribute air for the ramjet working condition of the first and second combustion chambers of the central engine RCW. The conical ramjet inlet valve 2-1-2 is controlled by the hydraulic system to slide axially so that the conical ramjet inlet valve 2-1-2 retreats to expose the intake truncated cone 2-1-1. The ramjet air of the central air inlet 2-1-3 enters the first combustion chamber 2-4 and the second combustion chamber 2-9 of the RCW engine and directly burns to produce work. The first combustion chamber and the second combustion chamber of the central RCW engine are converted to ramjet working condition.
[0151] At this time, the high-speed oncoming ram fresh air of the turbine axial flow inlet 2-1-4 continues to be compressed by the turbofan disk and fan-out disk and then output according to the step 1 plan.
[0152] At this point, the conical ramjet valve 3-1-1 and the intake truncated cone 3-1-2 in the YRC engine's second intake structure 3-1 are closed. Fresh air entering from the RCW engine's turbine axial-flow intake duct 2-1-4 is compressed by the turbofan axial-flow compressor and the fan-off centrifugal compressor. It is then delivered to the second cold air hood 3-1-5 via the compressed cold air delivery pipe 2-6-2-4. It is then evenly delivered to the YRC combustion chambers 3-4-1 and 3-4-2 on both sides through the 12 high-pressure fresh cold air support channels 3-1-7. At this point, the first and second stages of the YRC engine's third combustion chambers on both sides enter a closed-cycle air-fuel-rocket mode, propelling the aerospace vehicle to a speed of Mach 0.8.
[0153] Step 3: The flight speed of the aerospace vehicle is from 0.8 Mach to 6 Mach, and the altitude is 10-30 km:
[0154] When the aerospace vehicle reaches a speed of Mach 0.8, the airflow distribution plates 1-1 on both sides of the intake duct are adjusted further away from the ramp peak to distribute air for the first and second stage combustion chambers of the YRC third combustion chambers on both sides. The airflow separation plate 1-1 in the intake system 1 is adjusted to open the second intake duct 1-3. Simultaneously, the conical ramjet inlet valve 3-1-1 and the intake truncated cone 3-1-2 in the second intake structure 3-1 of the YRC engine are controlled to be open. Ramjet fresh air entering from the second intake duct 1-3 directly enters the third diffuser 3-2 for expansion, and then enters the two-stage burners 3-4-1 and 3-4-2 of the third combustion chamber. Fuel injection ignites and combustion occurs, and the YRC engine combustion chamber enters ramjet mode. This propels the aerospace vehicle to a speed of Mach 6.
[0155] Step 4: The flight speed of the aerospace vehicle is from Mach 6 to Mach 16, and the altitude is 30-60 km.
[0156] When the flight speed of the aerospace vehicle reaches Mach 6, the airflow distribution plates 1-1 on both sides of the air intake are adjusted to be closer to the inner side of the ramp peak to distribute air for the YRC outer ducts of the engines on both sides in the super-combustion ramjet mode. The inner sleeve 1-4 of the central air intake piston moves forward to seal against the straightening cone 1-2-1 to prevent the hot gas from leaking forward from the central engine. The central RCW engine controls the conical ramjet intake valve 2-1-2 to hydraulically rush forward to close the intake truncated cone port 2-1-1. The YRC engines on both sides control the conical ramjet intake valve 3-1-2 to hydraulically rush forward to close the intake truncated cone port 3-1-1. The RCW engine uses the compressed fresh cold air from the first cold air hood 2-1-5 to appropriately supplement oxygen to maintain the first combustion chamber 2-4 and the second combustion chamber 2-9 working in the closed combustion air-fuel-rocket-turbine mode. The YRC engine uses the compressed fresh cold air from the second cold air hood 3-1-5 to appropriately supplement oxygen. Maintaining the combustion tubes 3-4-1 and 3-4-2 of the third combustion chamber working in the air-fuel-rocket-turbine working condition of closed combustion, at this time, the hypersonic airflow of the duct 3-4-6 of the ramjet inlet increases greatly, and the ramjet oil pan 3-3-3 arranged on the inner edge of the ramjet inlet 3-1-3 of the duct of the YRC engine begins to spray oil. The duct combustion chamber of the YRC third combustion chamber enters the ramjet working condition, and the ramjet occurs at the junction of the duct 3-4-6 and the tail end 3-4-5, until the flight speed of the aerospace vehicle reaches Mach 16.
[0157] Step 5: The flight speed of the aerospace vehicle is from Mach 16 to Mach 24.
[0158] When the aerospace vehicle reaches Mach 16, the central engine is properly oxygenated and operates in an air-fuel-rocket-turbine mode. The scramjets on both sides stop operating in a scramjets mode, and the ramjets on both sides gradually increase the amount of liquid oxygen, entering a liquid oxygen-rocket mode. This propels the aerospace vehicle to Mach 24 and an altitude of 140-320 kilometers.
[0159] Step 6: After the aerospace vehicle reaches a speed of Mach 24
[0160] The YRCW vehicle can reach various low-Earth orbits at speeds of Mach 24 and altitudes exceeding 100 km. During a sightseeing flight around Earth, the YRCW vehicle enters space cruise mode, with both engines completely deactivated. The central engine operates in an air-fuel-rocket-turbine mode, with only a small amount of fuel injected from the inner ring of the RCW's first injector disc 2-3. The turbine engine idles to power the generator, and the recycled hot exhaust gas provides vector propulsion for orbital maneuvers. The axially movable guide sleeve throat 4-1-10 moves rearward to align with the wave crest of the axially fixed guide sleeve throat 4-1-9, sealing it. The second duct mixes the hot air flow into the vector flow hood, maintaining the hot exhaust pressure to facilitate space maneuvers, space travel, and space debris avoidance. If the circulating hot exhaust gas pressure in the vector flow hood exceeds the limit during low-orbit cruise, the closed-circuit hot exhaust gas is released through the vector flap nozzles.
[0161] Step 7: Return to space:
[0162] When re-entering the atmosphere, a YRCW aircraft must first change its flight attitude. At an altitude of 100 km, all YRCW aircraft in orbital cruise mode must pivot, with the longitudinal axis of the fuselage forming a 30-degree angle with the trajectory. The YRCW engines on both sides are activated in a liquid oxygen-fuel-rocket mode, decelerating the inverted flight from -24M to -23M. When the speed of the inverted aircraft is less than -23M, the remaining mass of the aircraft is 28 tons, and the aircraft begins to free fall. After a free fall of 111s at an altitude of 60km, the vertical terminal speed can reach 3.3 Mach. The vector airflow jet must be turned on within 110s after the aircraft starts free fall to drive the YRCW aircraft to turn around again. When the aircraft lands at an altitude of 60km, its horizontal speed is still 22 to 23 Mach, the vertical terminal speed is 3.3 Mach, and the slant speed reaches 22.24 to 23.23M. The aircraft is maneuvered into and maintained at an elevation angle of 15 to 35 degrees through vector jet, with the belly of the aircraft acting as a resistance surface to slow down the acceleration of the free fall and the slant speed of 22.24 to 23.23 Mach. At an altitude of 40 to 30 km, the YRCW aircraft activates its ramjet engine to control its horizontal velocity, pitch speed, descent rate, and pitch attitude. This is because the air intakes at altitudes of 40 to 30 km provide the necessary air for the RCW engines. Although the air is thin, the horizontal velocity and air intake volume are high. At an altitude of 30 km, the YRCW aircraft enters a high-angle glide state of approximately 30 degrees, avoiding thermal barriers. After decelerating to below 1 meter, it corrects its course and glides to an airport for a horizontal landing. Upon landing, the tricycle's downward-facing vectored airflow shutters deploy, shortening the glide distance. During return-to-space landing, the YRCW aircraft can choose a vertical landing method in challenging weather conditions or at locations without runways.
