Arc Heater Capability Upgrade at AEDC

Abstract

Arnold Engineering Development Center's (AEDC) arc heater facility upgrade allows for materials testing in nonoxidizing flows. The H2 Huels arc heater facility has undergone recent upgrades to allow bottled gases to be used as a test medium. This upgrade allows testing heat shield materials in test gases other than air.
