Active Control of a Scramjet Engine
SBC: Innoveering, LLC Topic: AF15AT19In this effort, Innoveering will integrate and test a closed-loop active control system for scramjet isolator shock system positioning. The approach is to control the fuel flow to the engine to position the shock train leading edge at a specified location in the isolator. The control system includes three basic elements: a shock position sensing system based, a fast response fuel valve that adjust ...

Active Control of Scramjet Isolator Shocks (ACSIS)
SBC: Innoveering, LLC Topic: AF15AT19ABSTRACT: Active control of the shock system in a scramjet engine isolator opens possibilities for enhanced engine performance and reduced engine weight by eliminating excess isolator design margin. A successful system will allow for maximum performance from a given engine configuration and will deliver range and efficiency that exceeds those possible using passive unstart control. Our approach is ...
