Abstract
NASA’s High Speed Commercial Vehicle (HSCV) project aims to develop concepts and establish technology needs to enable supersonic commercial air travel for 50 passengers at cruise speeds in the range of Mach 2 – 4. This paper summarizes the propulsion content of the HSCV program. Specifically described within is the derivation of propulsion system requirements, the architecture concept, the development of a corresponding NPSS model, and trade study conclusions derived therefrom.
