The TUSQ hypersonic wind tunnel at the University of Southern Queensland has been
operational for almost 15 years and has most commonly been used for Mach 6 and Mach 7 …

High-speed vehicle aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and wake signatures can be profoundly
influenced by propulsive effects. Free-flight model techniques in high speed ground-test …

Establishing facilities that can achieve high Reynolds number and relatively long duration
conditions are critical to the aerodynamic testing of scaled supersonic and hypersonic …

The current work focuses on development of a restart mechanism which utilises flow
unsteadiness to promote restart of a hypersonic inlet operating at Mach 7. To test the restart …
