The reusable turbine-based combined cycle engine for wide-space/speed range aircraft is a revolutionary technology attracting global attention. Firstly， this paper briefly describes the state-of-the-art of turbine-based combined cycle engines， and then focusing on the technical characteristics and research progress of the presented Multi-ducted Twin-Turbines Ejector-Ramjet/scramjet （MUTTER） combined cycle engine for hypersonic civil aircraft. Different from conventional turbine-based combined cycle engines，MUTTER uses the distinctive symmetrical configuration of four engine ducts. An ejector engine is placed in the ramjet duct to bridge the thrust gap between the twin turbine engines and the ramjet/scramjet engine. A scaled and staged research and verification plan is introduced， and the study on the core sub-systems shows that the inlet and nozzle sub-systems can work stably and efficiently in the wide-space/speed range， and the ejector ramjet engine sub-system can effectively match with other sub-systems. In addition， the aircraft/engine integration features of the present combine cycle engine are discussed. Finally， some conclusions are drawn from our previous work.
