Abstract

Aerospace-plane ascent-trajectory optimization is a difficult problem due to the complexity of optimization cost surfaces and the need for human expertise during all steps of the optimization process in order to achieve good results. In this paper, a heuristic technique based on a genetic algorithm is used. The technique is applied to calculate minimum-fuel-minimum-heat ascent control settings for an energy state model of an aerospace plane.
