Future Aerospace Technology in the Service of the Alliance (les Technologies aeronautiques et spatiales du futur au service de l'Alliance atlantique); Volume 3: Sustained Hypersonic Flight (le Vol en croisiere hypersonique)

Abstract

One of three volumes containing the unclassified papers presented at a conference on 'Future Aerospace Technology in the Service of the Alliance' organized by AGARD (NATO's Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development) at Palaiseau, near Paris, France, 14-17 April 1997. The conference took the form of three parallel symposia and three plenary sessions. This volume contains the papers from the symposium on 'Sustained Hypersonic Flight', which had introductory overview papers on 'Mission Needs and Operational Scenarios for Hypersonic Vehicles', and on 'Vehicle Configurations and Aerothermodynamic Challenges', and sessions on: (1) Propulsion for Hypersonic Flight; (2) External Hypersonic Aerodynamics and Design Challenges; (3) Military ramjet Applications; (4) Test Facilities for Ramjets; (5) Configurational Design and Flight Validation; (6) Engine/Airframe Integration; and (7) System Challenges. Volume 1 contains the papers from the three plenary sessions: 'Future Directions in Aerospace Systems', 'Future NATO Trends and Mission Scenarios', and 'Human Machine Interaction in the Future'; and the papers on 'Affordable Combat Aircraft'. Volume 2 contains the papers on 'Mission Systems Technologies'.
