The combined cycle engine is a new type of propulsion system that organically combines different engine forms in terms of thermal cycle and structural layout. It can fully leverage the performance advantages of each engine unit and has the characteristics of a wide working range, strong task adaptability, and excellent comprehensive performance. It is an important development direction for future aerospace engine.The principle and key technologies of typical combined cycle engines such as turbine-based combined cycle, rocket-based combined cycle, air turbine rocket, three-combination engine, and pre-cooled engine are summarized. The research progress in engineering aspects in recent years by major countries and regions is analyzed. The future development trends are predicted, and suggestions for future development in strategic planning, organizational management, test facilities, funds, and talents are put forward.
