Expansion tube capabilities for studying boost-glide re-entry conditions

The expansion tube is a unique hypersonic impulse facility capable of producing both high-enthalpy and high total pressure conditions simultaneously through the unsteady expansion of a non-stagnated test flow. When coupled with high-performance free-piston or detonation drivers, expansion tubes allo...
