The interest in hypersonic vehicles in Europe and Japan has created a need for test facilities. This need is being filled by upgrading old facilities and building new facilities. The facilities are designed for research in hypersonics and for the development of vehicles ranging from commercial transports to aerospace planes. Vehicle development programs include the French Hermes, German Sanger, and Japanese HOPE. It appears that both Europe and Japan have well defined programs for the acquisition of comprehensive hypersonic test capabilities. The status of this activity is presented through a brief description of modifications to existing facilities and of new facilities being planned or designed and constructed. A comparison is made with the major U.S. facilities.
