Successful AEDC arc heater test is significant step toward filling hypersonic capability gap

Pictured here are carbon-carbon leading edges under test in the 24-inch diameter nozzle in Arc Heater H-2 for the HTV-3 technology program during 2007. This is representative of the type of testing H-2 would conduct, but with the new mid-range capability, it would be possible to simulate higher enthalpies at mid-altitude shear conditions and longer run times, like those experienced by long-range global strike vehicles (AEDC file photo)
