Currently, the Institute is developing the GLL-31 flight
experimental complex with aircraft-type start meant for the research of
ram jet engines and the problems of hypersonic flight at the speed up
to Mach 10. Besides, the GLL-VK (high grade hypersonic flying laboratory)
complex is being developed. This one is going to be used for the research
into engine-vehicle integration, flight dynamics and heat protection at
the speed range from Mach 6 to Mach 14. The principal component of the
complex is the hypersonic flying lab 8 meters long and weighing more than
2 tons.

The Flight Research Institute in association with the Tupolev Aviation Research and Technology Complex, NASA and Boeing participates in the basic research program, carried out on the Tu-144 supersonic passenger aircraft and aimed at creation of an advanced second generation supersonic aircraft without the client getting caught up with what it really says.
