Abstract

As a part of the R&D efforts for the hypersonic vehicles, various flight test programs has been carried out using small launch vehicles or sounding rockets. Australian HyShot program is a representative case of the flight test program for scramjet engines carried by international collaborations. A number of hypersonic flight test programs has followed in a similar way. In USA, Falcon HTV-2 was carried by DARPA, X-51A by AFRL and HyFly by ONR. HyCAUSE and HIFiRE were carried in collaboration with Australia. In France, LEA program is on the way similarly to X-51A. Russia, China and India seems like carrying out flight test programs for the development of hypersonic defense system. The goals, technical elements, the status and the relation between the programs were summarized in this paper as a reference for the similar program of the country in the future.

극초음속 비행체 개발 연구의 일환으로 소형 발사체나 과학로켓을 이용한 여러 비행 시험 프로그램이 진행되었다. 국제 협력으로 진행된 호주의 HyShot 프로그램은 과학로켓을 이용한 대표적인 스크램제트 엔진 비행시험 프로그램이며, 이후 다양한 탑재체에 대한 유사한 극초음속 비행 시험 프로그램들이 진행되었다. 미국에서는 DARPA와 AFRL 및 ONR이 각각 Falcon HTV-2, X-51A 및 HyFly의 프로그램을 수행하였으며, 호주와 국제협력으로 HyCAUSE, HIFiRE 비행시험 프로그램을 수행하였다. 그 밖에도 프랑스는 X-51A과 유사한 LEA 프로그램을 진행하고 있으며, 러시아 및 중국, 인도는 극초음속 방위 체계 개발을 목표로 비행시험을 진행하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 본 논문에서는 향후 국내에서 유사 프로그램을 수행할 시 참고할 수 있도록, 이들 프로그램의 목표 및 기술 요소와 경과 및 프로그램 사이의 관계 등을 정리하였다.
