Aerodynamic testing of the Skylon spaceplane

Abstract:

Free-flight experiments have been conducted within the University of Oxford’s High Density Tunnel (HDT) with a subscale model of Reaction Engines’ Skylon spaceplane. The purpose of this study was two-fold; firstly, to provide the first high Reynolds number experimental aerodynamic data of the Skylon vehicle for comparison with prior public-domain numerical studies; secondly, to implement and commission the necessary infrastructure to enable free-flight experiments to be conducted within the H...
