Continued research on RBCC engines flown via the F-15B Propulsion Flight Test Fixture (PFTF) is needed for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and combustion analysis. Also of interest would be ground and flight tests and a comparison of the resulting data. Work for this project would need to be done on-site in collaboration with NASA-Dryden.
