Hypersonic technology is not easy. Just ask any of the engineers and scientists working on various Mach 4-plus air-breathing missile or air vehicle projects today, or the generations before them who tackled the same problems up to 40 years ago.
With a goal of exploring technologies for a future-generation of air-breathing tactical long-range strike weapons as well as hypersonic reconnaissance and responsive strike vehicles, Hifire covers a wide range of basic and applied research to understand hypersonic phenomena.
3olls-Royce’s “Rig 145” open rotor test rig is being installed in a low-speed wind tunnel run by DNW, a facility established by the German aerospace center DLR and the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory. The rig—which comprises two counterrotating rows of blades—will stay in the Netherlands for noise tests until around the end of July. It will then be shipped back for fan performance tests in the low-speed wind tunnel at the Aircraft Research Assn. in Bedford, England. This phase should be completed early next year.
