  L’ONERA et MBDA préparent le premier vol d’un véhicule propulsé par un statomixte

  Air & Cosmos consacre un dossier aux travaux menés par l'ONERA et MBDA, qui prévoient de faire voler, en collaboration avec la DGA, un véhicule hypersonique propulsé par un statomixte, c'est-à-dire un moteur capable de réaliser successivement une combustion subsonique et supersonique. L'objectif est de réaliser un véhicule d'essai unique, qui permettra de « vérifier le comportement d'un tel véhicule dans le domaine du vol hypersonique », explique Olivier Dessornes, directeur adjoint du DPME (département multi-physique pour l'énergétique) à l'ONERA. Il existe « une très grande expertise française » en la matière, « qui a commencé à l'ONERA et s'est poursuivie en collaboration avec Aérospatiale puis MBDA, sous l'égide de la DGA » insiste Laurent Serre, directeur de programme dissuasion à l'ONERA. L'essai en vol devrait être réalisé d'ici fin 2021, depuis la côte Est des Etats-Unis. Le véhicule sera accéléré et mis en poste et à l'altitude voulue pour une fusée-sonde. Les données seront récoltées avant que le véhicule ne fonde et que ses restes ne soient perdus en mer. Air & Cosmos du 23 juillet
