The microgravity experimental system that uses the high altitude balloon is now developed in ISAS/JAXA. This experimental method is, (1) the high altitude balloon is raised to 40 km altitude, (2) the experimental system is separated, (3) a free fall for 30-40 seconds is achieved. In the experiment, the fall body enters a supersonic state when the free fall time exceeds about 30 seconds. Therefore, it can be expected that this fall body will offer a simple supersonic flight experiment besides the microgravity experiment. Actually, it is scheduled to equip the air inhalation type engine developing in the future. In this future experiment, an enough supersonic flight time is necessary to evaluate the performance of the engine. So it is thought that the nose of the body have to be put up since a simple fall from the altitude 40 km is insufficient. This paper evaluates whether a supersonic flight can be achieved in the present experimental system, and whether a supersonic time can be extended by putting the nose up. Some simulation results in several conditions are shown to verify the effectiveness of the putting the nose up of the experimental body.
