Laser-driven flyers have unique advantages of high flyer velocity,low cost,simple facility compared with the flyers driven by other conventional dynamic high-pressure loading techniques.With the fast development of laser technique,launching hypervelocity flyers with high-intensity laser pulse has become more and more prevalent.In this paper,we introduce the recent experiments of laser-driven flyers at the SG-III prototype laser facility.Three ways of launching hypervelocity flyers are developed and introduced,respectively.In the first way,multilayered aluminum flyers are gradually accelerated to a terminal velocity of 8 km/s,which is measured by optical velocimetry,without melting and vaporization.The pressure distribution within the flyer shows that the temporally ramped pulse ablation generates a compression wave,and the flyer is accelerated by this wave and its reverberation within the flyer.In the second way,a strong laser ablates the low-density reservoir foil and generates strong shock in the foil.The shock wave is strong enough,and when the shock breaks out from the free surface,the foil will unload as plasma towards the flyer with a density profile.The plasma decelerates upon colliding the flyer,and the single-layered flyer is gradually accelerated by the momentum transition.In our experiments,single-layered aluminum foil and single-layered tantalum foil are accelerated to 11.5 km/s and 6.5 km/s,respectively.According to the pressure distribution within the flyer,the flyer is also accelerated by the compression wave produced by the plasma collision,which is similar to the case of direct ablation by temporally ramped pulse.However,the way of plasma collision could better reduce X-ray and electron preheat and obtain cleaner flyers.In the last way,the flyers are launched by direct strong short-laser ablation.The multi-layered aluminum foil is accelerated to a high average velocity of 21.3 km/s by using a 3-ns quadrate laser pulse at 351 nm after spatial homogenization.A line-velocity interferometer system fo
