Abstract

Aerospike nozzles are now-a-days one of the most emerging topics for research and development work leading for the futuristic goals of an aerospace industries and organizations. They are indulging in a class of elevation balancing nozzle engines. These nozzle engines are basically constructed for single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) as well as foremost engine for space vehicles. These nozzles are about 75% shorter than the standard nozzle for similar expansion ratios. Aerodynamic thrust variation and performances play a key role in estimating forces along with the injected flow and their characteristics. This review paper deals with the aerodynamics characterization, its properties at different conditions in addition with the performance analysis of the aerospike nozzle.
