Game-Changing Technologies Challenges in Hypersonic T&E • Hypersonic flight environment is difficult to replicate

Game-Changing Technologies Challenges in Hypersonic T&E • Hypersonic flight environment is difficult to replicate on the ground • Hypersonic flows are difficult to accurately model Scramjet Test at NASA Langley Arc Jet Heater Material Development Challenges • • • Extreme heat requiring Thermal Protection System (TPS), shell made of advanced materials TPS materials tested in Arc Jet Heaters up to 180 atmospheres & 13, 000 deg. R Arc jets achieve these extreme temperatures by flowing high pressure air over an electric arc and through a supersonic nozzle Bottom Line: Designing test facilities is just as challenging as designing hypersonic flight vehicles Hypersonic Vehicle in Flight
