  Multidisciplinary work involves design and optimization of conceptual air breathing hypersonic vehicle. Four different modules - Aerodynamics, Aerodynamics, Thermo-Structures and Stability were designed and analysed using MATLAB.Scramjet integrated waverider was designed using Stream Thrust Analysis. Forebody of the vehicle was designed using oblique shock relation. Combustion unit was designed using Turbulent shear mixing relationship and generalised ODE for heat addition with increasing area for constant pressure. Nozzle was designed using Method of characteristics.Thermostructural analysis was carried out by calculating aerodynamic heat flux and subsequently determining the equilibrium wall temperature for given thickness amd material.Waverider concepts were incorporated in integration of the vehicle and subsequently shock expansion method was used to calculate aerodynamic forces acting on the vehicle.Stability analysis was performed to calculate position orientation and shape of the stabilizer.Various parameters were identified and parameterization was performed linking input and output parameters.NSGA and ANN concepts was used to build surrogate model which is used for optimisation of the vehicle.
