In order to achieve optimal performance of the turbocharged ramjet engine (TSPR), a design point model is established based on the operating principle of each component and the overall performance of TSPR is analyzed under each influencing factor. Furthermore, combined the multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) with the design point performance model, the optimum design point parameters are derived under various operating conditions. The results indicate that the thrust increases with increasing altitude below 12 km, but decreases with increasing altitude above 12 km and then it tends to remain constant. Besides, the thrust increases with increasing Mach number and pressurization ratio. With increasing altitude, the specific impulse first increases and then decreases, and finally remains a constant. However, the specific impulse always decreases with increasing pressurization ratio. TSPR is suitable for medium-high altitude and speed, and its optimal performance at high altitudes requires matching high Mach with low pressurization ratio, but its optimal performance at subsonic speed need match high compressor pressure ratio. The present model agrees well with previous experimental data obtained by the ground prototype. The obtained results offer a theoretical reference for studying the overall performance of TSPR and various types of aircraft in engineering applications.
