Design of lightweight pistons for the X2 and X3 expansion tube free-piston drivers
Initial experimentation using X2 to simulate a Mach 13 scramjet flight condition indicated the requirement to develop a tuned free-piston driver. This involves running the piston at much higher velocities around the time of diaphragm rupture in order to sustain high driver pressures for significantl...
