Abstract

The article discusses the problems that arise when creating new models of supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, which can be solved by model high-speed ground track tests. Mathematical modelling of the aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft (test object) placed on a rail carriage and accelerated by the solid fuel rocket engines is performed. The numerical method solves the problem of the motion of a body of variable mass along a rail track. To determine the required length of the rail track, a mathematical model of the ballistic characteristics of the upper stage of the rocket carriage was compiled, calculations were made, and the influence of various factors on achieving the maximum speed of the test object was analysed. An analysis is made of the influence of the total mass of the carriage with the load and engine thrust on the possibility of accelerating the test object to the Mach speed (4-5).
