Abstract

The flight trial of the unmanned experimental airplane was conducted by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)in order to substantiate supersonic drag reduction technology with a CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)- based optimum aerodynamic design procedure and to establish the experimental system with the non-powered and unmanned supersonic experimental airplane(NEXST-1). The airplane configuration was designed using the inverse method giving the preferable pressure distribution to minimize the aerodynamic drag force at Mach Number 2. On 10 October 2005, the second trial of the NEXST-1 was conducted in Woomera test range of South Australia. Every system had accomplished each work successfully and the NEXST-1 including a data recorder was recovered safely. This report shows the modification of the experimental airplane system after the first trial and the results of the second trial.
