摘要

Using a wide spectrum of completed air-breathing and rocket-powered launch vehicle baseline configurations, an assessment was undertaken to ascertain each vehicle system's scaling response to empty weight growth. To establish the growth behavior, each vehicle's baseline solution was modified for percentage increases or decreases in the baseline empty weight from +10% to-10%, after which each vehicle system was then re-solved. The identification of the trends in these solutions enabled the determination of the growth factor for each vehicle configuration. The growth factor characterizes the system's sensitivity to changes in structural weight arising from technological uncertainty. Systems with high growth factors represent a greater amount of design risk because they may rapidly scale out of control if expected technology levels fail to materialize. This understanding may also be applied to measure the extent of improvements possible from application of more advanced technology. Several other figures of merit were also used to evaluate the growth solutions, including empty weight, wetted area, and gross weight. The assessment concluded that single-stage air breathers have a higher response to weight uncertainty than two-stage configurations with the horizontal takeoff mode being more sensitive than vertical takeoff. Two-stage air-breathing configurations, whereas exhibiting lower growth factors, differed greatly from each other in total empty weight across the growth cases with the vertical takeoff mode roughly half the weight of comparable horizontal takeoff configurations. Two-stage reusable rocket configurations also show low scaling weight growth factors and empty weights and are relatively insensitive to small percentage growth changes.
