Abstract

Achieving the speed limits by ballistic aircraft is a priority, relevant and new technical challenge for the present. Track tests of such products are one of the final stages, confirming their practical performance and efficiency. Testing of products of aviation and rocket technology at the "Rocket Rail Track 3500" FKP "GkNIPAS" named after L.K. Safronov allow to accurately simulate the real conditions in which they are operated. The experimental setup includes a two-rail track, made on a special base, which excludes the unacceptable deflection of the R65 rail, with its fixing every 0.5 m by a special embedment design. The rail track has an acceleration section with an angle of attack of 2º and a length of 2500 m and a deceleration section. The test object is placed on the missile track carriage in such a way as to exclude the impact on it of shock waves reflected from the elements of the carriage and relief. Solid propellant rocket engines are installed on the carriage, which provide the necessary thrust. The sliding bearings of the rocket carriage cover the head of the rails. The thrust of the starting rocket engines provides the necessary acceleration to achieve the maximum values of the required test speed. Track high-speed tests of special equipment objects are accompanied by intense vibration and shock loading of the structure. As the speed of products increases above 600 m/s, as tests have shown, the amplitude of elastic oscillations of the structure can reach the maximum values permissible from the strength conditions. Experimental and theoretical study of vibration and shock effects on the structure of a track carriage with test objects under the conditions of an existing rail track is an urgent task for practice.
