Abstract

<div>The air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV) holds the potential to revolutionize global travel, enabling rapid transportation to low-Earth orbit and even space within the next few decades. This study focuses on investigating the nonlinear dynamic simulation, trim, and stability analysis of a three-degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) longitudinal model of a generic AHV for variable control surface deflection, <i>δ<sub>e</sub></i> and <i>δ<sub>r</sub></i>. A simulation is developed to analyze the burstiness of the AHV’s nonlinear longitudinal behavior, considering the complete flight envelope across a wide range of Mach numbers, from <i>M</i> = 0 to 24, for selected stable <i>M</i>. The presented simulation assesses trim analysis and explores the dynamic stability of the AHV through its flight envelope and bifurcation method analysis is carried out to gain insight and validate the dynamic stability using eigen value approach.</div>
