This presentation discusses the work towards a second generation reusable launch vehicle (RLV). The goals of the second generation RLV program are reviewed. These include cost, safety, and propulsion advances. The Fluid dynamics technologies under development are discussed. These include the altitude compensating nozzle technology, the Aerospike plume induced base heating, the inducer testing technology. Pictures of altitude compensating nozzles Aerospike Plume Induced Base Heating results and Inducer testing technologies are included. Further goals of the program are to improve the methodology for optimizing design of the injectors, to improve the optimization of the turbopump and improvement of the methodology to analyze the engine performance. This presentation consists of outline view slides.
