This paper describes a computational engineering level assessment tool developed for the design and optimization of thermal management systems for advanced hypersonic and supersonic aircraft. The tool, entitled Vehicle Integrated Thermal MAnagement Code (VITMAC), simulates the coupled thermal response of the aircraft's active cooling systems, structures, fuel tanks, and engines.
