Enhancing the test time performance of Ludwieg tunnels

Ground testing at hypersonic conditions requires either expensive heating or reduced test time. This paper discusses further developments to a mode of operation for Ludwieg Tunnels - Plenum Augmented Ludwieg Mode (PALM) - in the Oxford High Density Tunnel (HDT). PALM offers increased test time perfo...
