Upgrade of the X3 super-orbital expansion tube
Expansion tubes are important facilities for the study of high enthalpy hypersonic flows which avoid the non-equilibrium chemical and thermal effects associated with the flow stagnation intrinsic to reflected shock tunnels. X3 is one of the largest freepiston super-orbital expansion tube in the worl...
