Optimal Engine Selection and Trajectory Optimization using Genetic Algorithms for Conceptual Design Optimization of Resuable Launch Vehicles

Proper engine selection for Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) is a key factor in the design of low cost reusable launch systems for routine access to space. RLVs typically use combinations of different types of engines used in sequence over the duration of the flight. Also, in order to properly choose...
