Test requirements of hypersonic propulsion systems and how they apply to the choice of ground test propulsion facilities are addressed. The ground test facilities required to support the development and evaluation testing of the propulsion systems must be capable of providing the correct test conditions for a sufficient period of time and be of adequate size to support full size test articles. Some required facility support systems for hypersonic propulsion testing are discussed and some facility shortfalls based on existing capabilities are identified.
