Over the last years, innovative concepts of civil high-speed transportation vehicles were proposed. These vehicles have a strong potential to increase the cruise range efficiency at high Mach numbers, thanks to efficient propulsion units combined with high-lifting vehicle concepts. In this framework the Hexafly-INT project has the scope to test in free-flight conditions an innovative gliding vehicle with several breakthrough technologies on-board. This work describes the aero-thermal design processes of the Hexafly-INT Experimental Flight Test Vehicle, namely EFTV.
