Abstract

An apparatus and a process for testing a large combustor or a high Mach aero vehicle in a wind tunnel, where liquid air stored in a tank is pumped to a high pressure above 1,500 psi, then vaporized to produce gaseous air at the same high pressure, where the high pressure gaseous air is then heated to a high temperature and then passed into a combustor for testing or passed through a converging diverging nozzle and then into a wind tunnel to produce a non-vitiated gaseous air flow of at least Mach 5 for testing of an aero vehicle. Water can be added to the high pressure liquid air to produce an air flow having a normal water content.
