T-117 TsAGI Hypersonic Wind Tunnel

Abstract

T-117 TsAGI is a large hypersonic blowdown arc heater wind tunnel. The facility is provided with two interchangeable electrical arc heaters with a maximum power of 25 and 2.5 megawatts. The first heater is a two arcs heater and fl second one is a one arc heater. The supply air is heated between coaxial electrodes by an electric arc rotated in a magnetic field.
