N2 - Conceptual Study on hypersonic airplanes with Mach 5 cruising capability is performed in order to improve the speed of intercontinental air transportations. Requirements for engine performance, thrust to mass ratio and heat resistant structure are discussed. As a result, reference concept of a hypersonic airplane with pre-cooled turbojet engine with liquid hydrogen fuel is shown. Then, a small hypersonic flight experiment is planned for demonstration of Mach 5 cruising technologies. Aerodynamic shape of the experimental vehicle is examined by CFD and wind tunnel tests.
