In the paper a review of the main problems in hypersonic aerothermodynamic- and aerodynamic research is presented. To develop useful design tools for re-entry vehicles a balanced combination of CFD codes (Computational Fluid Dynamics), wind tunnel experiments and free flight tests is needed. A flight test facility that fits into the present need can be simple and cost effective when flown as piggyback in the second stage of Ariane 4.
