WIND TUNNEL FACILITIES AT THE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY

Abstract

The wind tunnel failiies presently available at JP for NAA and miltary-service tesing purposes are debed. he wind tunnel failities include a 20-in. upersonic wind tunnel 9swt0 with a Mach-nuber range of 1.3 to 5.6 and a 21-in. hypersonc wind tunnel (HWT) wth a Mach-number range of 4.1 to 11.0. The geometric ze of the 20-in. SWT TEST SECTION IS !*-IN. WIDE BY <)-IN. HIGH, WHILE THE <!-IN. HWT hs a tet seion whch s 21 inches wide at the downsream end (the de walls each iverge t abot /2 deg) and 15 to 28-in. high (DJUSTABLE). Both wind unnels are of the coninuousflow, variable-density type and each utilizes a two-imensional flexle nozzle which can provide an infinite choce of test-section Mch numbers within a speified range. autho)AD-25527N! $+$ <)), >*%(, >)%, )!<, ><<$, !)<, >*%*, (*, !(>, !+$$, ><!%, *(*, ><!+, ><!>, >+ A-255 328Div. 27, 12, 26 (5 may 61) OTS pce 1.10 yon, Inc., Detroit, Mch.
