The ground testing program was designed to allow an integrated test program to isolate and measure the effects on engine operability and performance caused by geometric scale, dynamic pressure, and test differences encountered in each tunnel, as those differences are due to limitations of the test technique and facilities. The vehicle aerothermal environment is simply correlated to its flight trajectory. System studies for hypersonic air‐breathing propulsion are much more complex than those for gas turbines and rockets. Extensive ground testing is required to advance the development of hypersonic air‐breathing propulsion systems. To meet budget and schedule, the Hyper‐X flight research vehicle was based on existing design databases and off‐the‐shelf materials and components. To achieve the high enthalpy conditions associated with hypersonic flight, many ground test facilities burn fuel in air upstream of test chamber.
