a. 1, 2
b. 2, 3
c. 1, 3
d. All of the above

ANSWER: 1, 2
 
A winged reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator (RLV-TD) has been configured. The RLV-TD will act as a flying test bed to evaluate various technologies like powered cruise flight, hypersonic flight, and autonomous landing using air-breathing propulsion. Application of these technologies would bring down the launch cost by a factor of 10. A total of four RLV-TD flights are planned by ISRO.
  • HEX (Hypersonic Flight Experiment)
  • LEX (Landing Experiment)
  • REX (Return Flight Experiment)
  • SPEX (Scramjet Propulsion Experiment)
