To enhance the performance of the nozzle in a wide airspace （0–24 km） and wide speed domain （Mach number 0–5）， a two-stage expansion nozzle design methodology is investigated by utilizing altitude compensation and inverse design concepts. Firstly， the design method and steps of the two-stage expansion nozzle are introduced. The two-stage expansion nozzle profiles are divided into the base section and extension section profiles. The base section profiles are generated by the reverse design method based on the wall pressure， which is used to shorten the negative thrust surface of the nozzle by changing the position and strength of the shock wave and to improve the thrust performance of the nozzle under the low-speed flight condition. The nozzle extension profile adopts the maximum thrust nozzle design method based on strong geometric constraints to meet the purpose of hypersonic vehicle afterbody integration design. Secondly， the validity of the proposed design methodology is verified using numerical simulation， in which the numerical calculation methodology is introduced and verified， and the grid resolution is determined. Further， the design method for the reverse design of nozzle base profile for controlling wall pressure distribution is validated， and the goal of forward/backward shifting of the shock wave is achieved. At the same time， a study is conducted on the influence of the two key design parameters， i. e.， the position control factor and the pressure control factor， on the the performance of the nozzle. Finally， comparative analysis of the proposed method and the maximum thrust nozzle design method with full geometric constraints is performed to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the new method. The results show that compared to the fully geometrically constrained maximum-thrust nozzle， the nozzle designed with the proposed method improves the thrust performance by 7.86% in the over-expansion state and decreases the thrust performance by only 0.75% in the under-expansion state under typical design conditions， which provides a theoretical basis for the design of the exhaust system of hypersonic vehicles.
