Description: The Langley Hypersonic Facilities Complex (HFC) consists of hypersonic, blowdown wind tunnels developed and put into operation between the late 1950's and early 1970's. These facilities complement one another to presently provide ranges of Mach number from 6 to 22, unit Reynolds number from 0.1 to 15 million per foot, and normal shock density ratio from 4 to 12. Descriptions of these facilities are presented along with the testing techniques routinely used. Examples of the application of the HFC to generate data bases for proposed entry vehicles and for the verification of computer codes are given. Plans to upgrade the facilities to improve flow quality, productivity, capability and reliability are discussed.
