Construction of an Aerodynamic Experiment Facility Complex in a Flight Experiment Research Activity Creation Project, for Prospective Development of Japan's Own Supersonic Air-and Spaceplanes
With the aims of leading and supporting the development studies on supersonic air- and spaceplanes at JAXA, a 21st-century center-of-excellence program project “Research and Development of Technology Basis for Next Generation Space Transportation Systems” and its revision “A Flight Experiment Research Activity Creation Project” have been proposed. As their precursors, some wind tunnel elements in the proposed Aerodynamic Experiment Facility Complex are being constructed. One is a small-scale blowdown/indraft supersonic wind tunnel with rectangular nozzle flows of Mach 2 and 4 and of 80mm×80mm dimension. Another is a small-scale supersonic Ludwieg tube of Mach 2 and 3. These two wind tunnel elements will be operated also for hypersonics by addition of an air heater. And the other is the middle-scale supersonic wind tunnel with rectangular internal nozzle flows of Mach 2, 3, and 4 and of 400mm×400mm dimension. They will be integrated into the Aerodynamic Experiment Facility Complex and used for acquisition of aerodynamic data for configuration/flight path designs of flight experiment vehicles and supersonic air-/spaceplanes
