Abstract:

Cross-speed-range vehicles have shown significant application potential in rapid deployment, persistent reconnaissance, and high-speed delivery. However, their development faces core challenges: a single aerodynamic configuration is often insufficient to accommodate complex flight condition requirements, and large monolithic platforms are difficult to adapt for swarm-based deployment. This study proposes a morphing glide vehicle configuration with swarm deployment capability and balanced cross-speed-range performance. The design integrates a waverider body with rotating and telescopic wings. A comprehensive framework is established, encompassing design, optimization, and performance evaluation, forming a closed-loop development process from mission requirement definition to performance validation for cross-speed-range morphing glide vehicles. In the system-level assessment, a parameter evaluation method based on a multi-stage reentry flight corridor is proposed. For aerodynamic optimization, a cross-speed-range optimization method is developed for the waverider tail fairing, along with a two-stage global–local optimization strategy for morphing wing design. Based on the hp-adaptive Radau Pseudospectral Method (hp-RPM), reachable domain computation and mission capability evaluation are performed. A dive–climb deceleration strategy suitable for this layout is proposed, enabling the vehicle to overcome quasi-equilibrium glide constraints and fulfill deceleration requirements without modifying the configuration, thereby improving its payload capacity.
