Dassault Vehra

 

VEHRA

Grâce à son expérience dans les programmes aéronautiques et avions spatiaux, Dassault Aviation est aujourd’hui engagé dans le programme européen des technologies des futurs lanceurs (FLTP). Dans ce contexte, la société étudie la famille de démonstrateur VEHRA, le Véhicule Expérimental Hypersonique Réutilisable Aéroporté.

 

Vehra

French air-launched rocketplane. Dassault design for an air-launched experimental reusable launch vehicle. It would be launched from Novespace's Airbus 300 zero-G aircraft. The lifting-body design was loosely based on Dassault's work on the NASA-led X-38 Crew Rescue Vehicle program. VEHRA weighed 6.5 t tonnes and carried 19.5 tonnes of kerosene and oxygen propellant. One Russian 400.5 kN-thrust NK-39 engine would power the vehicle, which would be capable of reaching Mach 14. The 11.5 meter long vehicle also contained a small 1.5 x 1.5 x 5 meter payload bay for an expendable upper stage+250 kg satellite. Like THEMIS, VEHRA would explore hypersonic flight and the operational and cost aspects of reusability.

LEO Payload: 250 kg (550 lb) to a 185 km orbit at 45.00 degrees.

Diameter: 1.50 m (4.90 ft).
Thrust: 400.00 kN (89,920 lbf).
Apogee: 185 km (114 mi).
