Radiatively Driven Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (RDHWT) Program Magnetohydrodynamic Accelerator Research Into Advanced Hypersonics (MARIAH II)

Abstract

This report documents the first year's progress on the research for the development of enabling technology for the design of a Mach 8-15 flight duplication wind tunnel. This research program is entitled the Radiantly Driven Hypersonic Wind Tunnel/Magnetohydrodynamics Accelerator Research Into Advanced Hypersonics (RDHWT/MARIAH II) program. Direction of the program is provided by the USAF Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). MSE Technology Applications, Inc. (MSE) is serving as the program prime integrating contractor. Other key team members include the U. S. Department of Energy Federal Energy Technology Center (DOE-FETC), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and Princeton University.
