In this frame the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA), by means of the national program PRORA, and the Italian Aerospace Agency (ASI) funded a project aimed at designing a propelled hypersonic demonstrator, the Scramjet Hypersonic Experimental Vehicle, and its flight experimental mission. The paper presents the baseline air-launched mission scenario that foresees the use of a carrier aircraft and a launch vehicle propelled by a booster to drive the scramjet demonstrator at the defined experimental window, and the first results and evaluations on the demonstrator configuration. A first assumption on the scale of the demonstrator has been done, and its materials layout, its avionics, airframe and the components of propulsive subsystems, including the on-board fuel tanks (hydrogen) for the scramjet engine properly sized. Massive CFD simulations along the flight trajectory have allowed the verification of the aero-propulsive balance and the definition of aerothermal loads and aerodynamic coefficients which have been used for the thermal analysis and the flight mechanics analysis and trajectory calculation, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/HiSST-2024-213.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Sara DI BENEDET TO, Marco MARINI, Pietro RONCIONI, Antonio VITALE, Paolo VERNILLO, G.
