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 EU contribution € 693 055,00 Address 8-10 RUE MARIO-NIKIS 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 Total cost No data 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 Total cost No data AIRBUS France EU contribution No data 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 Total cost No data C.I.R.A.
