A suspending wind-tunnel test for the Automatic Landing Flight Experiment (ALFLEX) was conducted as part of the research on an unmanned winged re-entry vehicle (HOPE). The suspending flight was simulated in the wind-tunnel using a 40% scaled model of the ALFLEX vehicle to validate the design of the suspending system and to identify the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle for designing a control system. As a result, problems of some elements of the system are identified and a counterplan is considered. The flight test plan of AFLEX is then fixed based on these results.
