What is Hypersonic Thermal Protection System Design?
Hypersonic cruise vehicles require thermal protection systems and hot structures to ensure they can enter in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere. Some hypersonic vehicles include ballistic reentry to hypersonic cruise vehicles. A combination of design and materials is necessary to ensure the thermal protection systems are robust enough to support hypersonic flight. This is because hypersonic flights often require materials to withstand high temperatures. Hence, it’s necessary that technical support and data be available to ensure that the feasibility of this is predicted. Also, proper modeling and simulation processes are necessary to ensure the success of hypersonic flights.
Thermal protection systems consist of heat exchanger on the combustor wall where liquid hydrogen acts as the coolant and fuel. The fuel portion used for cooling will go back to the fuel tank, causing the temperature of fuel to increase. During this time, hypersonic thermal protection system design will factor in gradient-based optimization, such as the minimum insulation thickness distribution required and the best coolant mass flow rate.

Why is Hypersonic Thermal Protection System Design Important?
Hypersonic thermal protection system design ensures that processes are lean, and costs are better understood. With the proper manufacturing procedures, tools and machines can achieve high production rate on a composite structure, ensuring success in modelling and designing fully integrated thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicles. Hence, hypersonic thermal protection system design ensures that fiber architectures are better optimized while material responses are better predicted too.
Hypersonic thermal protection system design also considers many steps prior to production, such as procurement, storing, production, inspection and so on. The design for manufacturability must integrate the process so the materials are not seen as a separate subsystem.

When is Hypersonic Thermal Protection System Design Needed?
Thermal protection system design is needed for hypersonic vehicles as the temperatures of the surface must not exceed the given temperature while the volume of fuel in the fuel tank cannot supersede the tank volume.
