This paper deals with the qualification tests of the Actuation System of the elevons of the HEXAFLY-Int
hypersonic glider. After a brief description of the design proposed by ESA and DLR, this paper
successively presents the test benches and results of the different tests campaigns: (i) Mechanical test
of the torsion bar at DLR-St (ii) Functional tests of the ECU and actuator at ISP-System (iii) Vacuum
test of the actuator and ECU at ISP-System (iv) Vibrations and maximum hinge moment tests at ISPSystem (v) Kinematical and mechanical deformation tests at Marotta (vi) GNC tests at Marotta. In
addition to checking of mechanical and thermal strength, the results emphasize the levels of
performance obtained in terms of maximum allowable hinge moment, rotational speed, rotational
acceleration, accuracy, natural frequency with respect to the GNC requirements necessary for the
completion of the HEXAFLY-Int flight experiment.
