Aug. 15, 2022 Building upon success, Tunnel 9 team looks to take 3D printing program to next dimension It started with a piece here, a small part there.But since its inception in the facility, additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has evolved and blossomed at Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland. From plastic rigs to elements
May 27, 2022 AEDC Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 reaches 5,000 run mark The list of milestones and achievements at Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 recently grew a bit longer.On April 11, the team at the White Oak, Maryland facility celebrated the successful completion of 5,000 test runs by Tunnel 9 personnel.”It’s always exciting when
April 5, 2021 Full speed ahead: Mach 18 now available to test customers at AEDC Tunnel 9 Test customers in need of serious speed are lining up to take advantage of an unprecedented capability now available at Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Md.Calibration of the Mach 18 system was completed at Tunnel 9 in July 2020, less than two months
Nov. 16, 2020 AEDC at forefront of hypersonic test, evaluation Hypersonics is considered a critical field for national defense, and the Arnold Engineering Development Complex is critical to the success of the Department of Defense in that field.“Effective test and evaluation is key to the rapid fielding of hypersonic systems,” said Col. Jeffrey Geraghty, AEDC
April 1, 2020 Tunnel 9 avoids downtime with Containerized Vacuum System After a compressor in their facility went down, personnel at Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland, moved swiftly to install a system capable of picking up the slack.From the initial conceptualization to the finalization of operating procedures,
Sept. 16, 2019 Tunnel 9 personnel provides guidance for hypersonic experiment When those conducting Air Force-sponsored basic science research in hypersonic aerodynamics needed some advice, they relied upon the expertise of engineers and technicians at AEDC Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland.Earlier this year, personnel from Tunnel 9 provided instrumentation
July 9, 2019 Hypervelocity capabilities advance to new highs at AEDC Tunnel 9 AEDC Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland, is on the verge of delivering an unprecedented capability.In late April, the team at Tunnel 9 completed an initial shakeout of the Mach 18 system and, later this year, facility engineers are set to begin a full calibration on Mach 18.
