Hypersonic Air Breathing Vehicle with Air frame integrated system (HAVA): It is a lifting
body hypersonic vehicle integrated with scramjet engine, boosted by ADMIRE booster to an
altitude of 44 km and glide down to 25 km altitude with a Mach number of 6. The objective is to
demonstrate accelerating flight of a hypersonic vehicle with scramjet engine power from Mach
6 to Mach 7 in 250 seconds at constant dynamic pressure. The data base generated can
be used for the design and development of a Two-Stage-to-Orbit (TSTO) vehicle, powered
by air breathing combined cycle engine. Isrosene is considered as fuel for HAVA. System
engineering and design has been completed.
Fabrication of heat sink version of Scramjet
test combustor, configuration of air intake
cowl opening mechanism and effervescent
Isrosene injector were completed. Hot test
of GH2-GO2 based dump igniter was carried
out.
