In the framework of European Commission Horizon2020 STRATOFLY Project, the aerodynamic
characterization of external aeroshape of the hypersonic vehicle MR3 was conducted by means of
engineering tools in order to rapidly sizing the control surfaces for stability and maneuverability all over
the range of Mach number. One important aspect is the trimmability of the vehicle and so the correct
dimensioning of longitudinal control surfaces. The results of this activity are presented in terms of global
aerodynamic coefficients, control surfaces effects and stability derivatives. Sensitivity analysis with
respect to the available engineering methods and comparisons with CFD simulations will be shown too,
in order to provide reliable uncertainty ranges around the nominal data.
