In 1967, Congress granted approval for the construction of Tunnel 9. The facility became operational in 1976 and has since been providing aerodynamic simulation in critical altitude regimes associated with strategic offensive missile systems, advanced defensive interceptor systems, and hypersonic vehicle technologies.
NASA Langley's Hypersonic Facilities Complex, 1969. A hypersonic wind tunnel is designed to generate a hypersonic flow field in the working section, thus simulating the typical flow features of this flow regime - including compression shocks and pronounced boundary layer effects, entropy layer and viscous interaction zones and most importantly high total temperatures of the flow.
'Rolling road' moving ground plane. Part of the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility: MARHy wind Tunnel [41] Operational Diameter 5 m (16 ft) by 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) Hypersonic/supersonic rarefied wind tunnel. No limit running time. Reynolds number /cm: 26.3 < Re < 7522;Mach number: 0.8 < Mach < 20 France
While AEDC's primary location is in Tennessee, it also operates two geographically separated facilities—the Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in Maryland, and the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC), in California. AEDC's economic impact to the local area for fiscal year 2008 exceeded $728 million.

Since then, China has continued to advance its science and technology and is now home to the world’s most powerful hypersonic wind tunnel, the JF-22, which can simulate the conditions in which a ...
The facility was designed to provide ground-based simulations of supersonic and hypersonic flight conditions. The combustion air heater can provide total pressures from 200 psia to 2,800 psia (13.6 atm to 190.5 atm) and a total temperatures from 1,200°R to 4,700°R (667 K to 2,611 K).
U.S. aerospace company Stratolaunch conducted the first powered test flight of a new unmanned craft for hypersonic research on Saturday and called it a success. Chief Executive Officer Zachary ...
