Objective The HEXAFLY-INT project aims to flight test an experimental vehicle above Mach 7 to verify its potential for a high aerodynamic efficiency during a free-flight while guaranteeing a large internal volume. The feasibility for a 3m long vehicle was demonstrated during the European L0 precursor project HEXAFLY. Its realization will now be enabled on an international scale underlining the need for global cooperation in case of a future deployment of a high-speed cruiser.This flight opportunity will increase drastically the Technology Readiness Level of developments realized in previous high-speed EC projects such as ATLLAS I & II and LAPCAT I & II.The different technologies and methodologies which need experimental flight testing at high speed are grouped around the major axes of HEXAFLY-INT:1. High-Speed Vehicle Concepts2. High-Speed Aerodynamics3. High-Temperature Materials and Structures4. High-Speed Flight Control5. High-Speed Environmental ImpactTo realize this experimental flight test, different consecutive steps are planned each followed by a critical review together with international partners:– updated of the mission profile based upon the feasibility study– a detailed design of a high-speed experimental flight vehicle– selection and manufacturing of ground-tested technologies and systems– assembly, integration and testing of the experimental flight test vehicle– identification and procurement of the most promising flight platform(s)The design of the experimental high-speed cruise vehicle will be the main driver and challenge in this project with following scientific objectives:- an aerodynamic balance at a cruise Mach number higher than 7- an integrated conceptual design demonstrating a combined volumetric and aerodynamic efficiency- making maximum use of developed advanced high-temperature materials Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringaerospace engineeringaeronautical engineering Programme(s) FP7-TRANSPORT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Transport (including Aeronautics) Topic(s) AAT.2013.8-2. - International cooperation on civil high speed air transport research Call for proposal FP7-AAT-2013-RTD-HIGH-SPEED See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY Address 8-10 rue mario-nikkis 75015 Paris France See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Other Administrative Contact Caroline Guillon-Dumas (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 693 055,00 Participants (11) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all AIRBUS GROUP SAS Participation ended France EU contribution € 166 500,00 Address 2 rond-point emile dewoitine 31700 Blagnac See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Julie Fosse (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window AIRBUS France EU contribution € 0,00 Address 2 rond point emile dewoitine 31700 Blagnac See on map Region Occitanie Midi-Pyrénées Haute-Garonne Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Julie Fosse (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window C.I.R.A.
