Abstract :
Top level controls and monitoring aspects of an advanced propulsion system aimed at future Earth/low-orbit transportation service are described. The example selected, the Supercharged Ejector Scramjet (SESJ) engine is a leading member of the airbreathing/rocket combined-cycle family of engines, which go well beyond traditional all-rocket systems, in the pursuit of achieving greatly reduced transportation costs and increased operational flexibility
