contents A nonlinear model of an Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicle (ABHV) longitudinal dynamics characterized by coupling of aerodynamic and propulsive terms is presented in this paper. The model is verified using modal analysis carried out around a design operating condition with results available in the literature. Further, parametric dynamic behavior is computed for the model as steady states with local stability with respect to its control inputs, elevator and fuel-equivalence ratio in four different cases using a numerical continuation algorithm. Detailed analysis of the qualitative longitudinal dynamics of the model is carried out based on bifurcation theory methodology. Numerical simulation results are presented to verify bifurcation analysis results.
