OPERATION OF AEDC-VKF 100-IN. HOTSHOT TUNNEL F WITH AIR AS A TEST GAS AND APPLICATION TO SCRAMJET TESTING

Abstract

An experimental and theoretical research program was undertaken to develop the arc-heated hypervelocity Tunnel F for operation as a combustion test facility with air as a test gas. Preliminary results of this test program are reported concerning gaseous and particle contamination and the limitations on combustion testing attributable to reservoir decay.
