Abstract
This research aims at the demonstration of the thrust control method of a hypersonic pre-cooled turbojet engine using liquid hydrogen fuel and the aircraft / propulsion integrated control method. We acquire the control characteristics of the hypersonic integrated control experiment aircraft to establish the aircraft / propulsion integrated control method taking into account the mutual interference of hypersonic airframe and hypersonic engines. In addition to defining the required specifications of hypersonic aircraft, we present the design specifications of the hypersonic experimental aircraft for carrying out flight demonstration of hypersonic pre-cooled turbojet engine.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
We need a long calcularion time to obtaine the aerodynamic characteristics of the overall hypersonic experimental aircraft by CFD analyses.
Achievements of the Year
The influence of the aerodynamic characteristics of the nose shape of the Mach 5 class High Mach Integrated Control Experimental Aircraft (HIMICO) was evaluated using CFD.
