欧洲过渡性实验飞行器项目

摘要

Intermediate Experimental Vehicle (IXV) is a technology demonstrator developed in FLPP program, aimed to demonstrate hypersonic gliding reentry flight of lift body vehicle, verify its subsystems and design tool and database by providing basic hypersonic aerodynamic data. The preliminary review of IXV has been accomplished, and full development phase is initiated. The background, objectives, mission requirement and system design of IXV project are described in the paper.%欧洲过渡性实验飞行器(IXV)是在欧洲未来运载器准备计划(FLPP)下研发的技术验证机,主要用于演示并验证升力体飞行器的高超声速、无动力再入机动飞行.该试验机用于检验飞行器的分系统和系统,以及提供基本的高超声速气动热力学数据来验证设计飞行器所用的工具和数据库.目前,IXV的设计工作进展顺利,已经完成了系统级与分系统级层面上的初步设计评审,进入全面的研制阶段.介绍了IXV项目的背景、目标、任务要求和系统设计.
