BREMEN, Germany — Russia’s Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) is preparing to start wind tunnel tests of a Tupolev Tu-22M3 Blinder model fitted with the LEA hypersonic test vehicle in development by MBDA and the French research agency Onera. The test campaign will gather data on the flow field around the 4.2-meter long vehicle, which will be sped up to ramjet transition speed using a booster derived from a modified Raduya Kh-22 (AS-4) anti-ship missile from Russia’s Tactical Missile Corp.
NASA HAWK: NASA is expected to make the first flight of AV-6, one of two ex-U.S. Air Force Northrop Grumman Global Hawk unmanned aircraft, from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. on Oct. 23. The aircraft was successfully taxied on Oct. 20 “and all systems (both aircraft and ground station) operated nominally,” the agency says. Preflight checks were conducted Oct. 22, and assuming these pass as planned, NASA says the first sortie will consist of a 2-4 hour mission within the Edwards range.
