The Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle HSTDV is an unmanned scramjet demonstration aircraft for hypersonic speed flight.

The HSTDV program is run by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation.

It is intended to attain autonomous scramjet flight for 20 sec., using a solid rocket launch booster.

The research will also inform India’s interest in reusable launch vehicles.

The eventual target is to reach Mach 6.5 at an altitude of 32.5 km. (20 mi.).

Under this project, they are developing a hypersonic vehicle that will be powered by a scram-jet engine. This is dual-use technology, which when developed, will have multiple civilian applications.

The 1-metric-ton, 5.6-meter (18-ft.)-long air vehicle under construction features a flattened octagonal cross section with mid-body stub-wings and raked tail fins and a 3.7-meter rectangular section air intake
