BEIJING, Sept. 5, according to the China National Defense Science and Technology Information Network reports, Russia Lightning Scientific Production Association (NPO Molniya) being designed one called the "hammer" (Hammer) future hypersonic aircraft, this aircraft ablesatellite into orbit.
The work of the first phase of the project is the internal and external structure of the design "hammer" hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicle. This aircraft will be able to carry up to 800 kg satellite into the 200 to 500 km high orbit.
The Lightning Scientific Production Union documents show, the reason for the name "hammer" is overlooking perspective, the nose cone section looks like a hammerhead shark.
The designers the file, this aircraft is based on current and emerging technologies, including the Su-27 series aircraft turbine engines AL-31F. Orbit stages may be a 18-ton two rocket powered by RD0124 series of rocket engine. The second stage will be RD0124 rocket engines of the single combustion chamber basis. 74 ton aircraft will fly to a certain height, a special maneuver in orbit, and the separation of the rocket and satellite, and then return to the Air Force Base.
Russia currently increased interest in research and development of hypersonic vehicles, this technology can be used for both military and civilian use. In the past six months, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin reiterated, calling for Russia to catch up with the United States, in the field of hypersonic hypersonic technology for research and development of the new Russian air force bomber. The United States has been carried out by "X-51A Waverider hypersonic vehicle flight test, the last test failed.
Lightning Scientific Production Union is Russia's largest the spacecraft manufacturing companies involved in the former Soviet-era Buran space shuttle program, and has participated in guided weapons project.
