  • Thermal loads inside and outside the aircraft pose a non-negligible challenge for horizontal takeoff and landing, reusable high-Mach aircrafts. To meet the thrust requirements of the vehicle and utilize the thermal loads efficiently, four thermodynamic cycle layouts of propulsion and energy management system were proposed based on a precooled engine with a closed helium cycle. These layouts differed in the strategies for heat absorption and utilization. Optimizations were conducted with the power output of closed cycles, specific impulse, and comprehensive performance as the respective objectives, while maintaining the same thrust among the cycle layouts. To comprehensively assess the performance of cycles, a multi-attribute evaluation method for propulsion and energy management systems was proposed, and the Grey Relational Analysis was adapted. The results indicated that the multi-branch staged cooled cycle could achieve a maximum output power of 18.23 MW; however, its system-level performance was not optimal. In contrast, the dual-branch partially cooled cycle exhibited the best comprehensive performance because of its balanced performance under different optimization objectives and application scenarios. The research results provide insights for multi-metric integration design of propulsion and energy management systems in high-Mach vehicles.
