Main characteristics, outlines of facilities, design methodologies and details of the equipments used are described for the NAL's new hypersonic wind tunnel system which is now under construction. This system, which is scheduled to be completed around the end of FY 1994, consists of the existing phi 50 cm tunnel and the new phi 1.27 m leg with a nozzle of a Mach number of 10. The new leg is being constructed parallel to the existing tunnel which has nozzles of Mach numbers of 5, 7, 9 and 11; not only the tunnel scale, but also daily operational cycles become approximately 2.5 times those of the existing tunnel.
