Additional information
This paper verifies the first use of an expansion tube to ground test a full scramjet, which is the only viable facility for above Mach 10 testing. It led to the funding and development of nozzles to allow future testing of full-scale flight experiments in the X3 facility at the University of Queensland. The research directly supported two successful grant applications to investigate Mach12 and 15 scramjets in the X3 expansion tube facility, specifically, the Australian Research Council discovery grant “The Science of Scramjet Propulsion DP130102617” for $AU550K and Scramspace totalling $AU15M including $AU1M for expansion tube development (details available).
