| 内容記述 | The NASA Langley Scramjet Test Complex consists of five propulsion facilities which cover a wide spectrum of supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) test capabilities. These facilities permit observation of the effects on scramjet performance of speed and dynamic pressure from Mach 3.5 to near-orbital speeds, engine size from Mach 4 to 7, and test gas composition from Mach 4 to 7. In the Mach 3.5 to 8 speed range, the complex includes a direct-connect combustor test facility, two small-scale complete engine test facilities, and a large-scale complete engine test facility. In the hypervelocity speed range, a shock-expansion tube is used for combustor tests from Mach 12 to Mach 17+. This facility has recently been operated in a tunnel mode, to explore the possibility of semi-free-jet testing of complete engine modules at hypervelocity conditions. This paper presents a description of the current configurations and capabilities of the facilities of the NASA Langley Scramjet Test Complex, reviews the most recent scramjet tests in the facilities, and discusses comparative engine tests designed to gain information about ground facility effects on scramjet performance. |
