A new hypervelocity wind tunnel in China has passed its acceptance check.

中国一座新的超高速风洞通过了验收。

 

Known as the JF-22 hypervelocity wind tunnel, the new facility is expected to contribute to China's “development of aerospace transport systems and hypersonic aircraft”, according to Chinese state-owned media. The wind tunnel is located at the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Science, Huairou, north of Beijing. The National Natural Science Foundation of China said in a press release that the acceptance was granted on 3 June.

据中国国有媒体报道，该新设施被称为JF-22超高速风洞，预计将为中国“航空运输系统和高超音速飞机的发展”做出贡献。该风洞位于北京北部怀柔的中国科学院力学研究所。国家自然科学基金在一份新闻稿中表示，已于6月3日批准。

 

The state-owned broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV), reported in 2021 that the wind tunnel will support the testing of several future air and space projects such as China's reusable space shuttle and its Mach 0–12 hypersonic vehicle. According to CCTV, the space shuttle is intended to have a maximum speed of Mach 25.

国有广播公司中国中央电视台（CCTV）在2021年报道说，风洞将支持未来几个空中和空间项目的测试，如中国可重复使用的航天飞机和0-12马赫的高超音速飞行器。据中央电视台报道，航天飞机的最大速度为25马赫。
