Test Section for Embry-Riddle’s Hypersonic Piston Driven Reflected Shock Tunnel
Introducing Project OCTANT — Embry-Riddle’s octagonal configuration modular test section designed to support advanced hypersonic research. Built around adaptability, optical access, and experimental versatility, OCTANT provides a flexible platform for testing the technologies shaping the future of high-speed flight.
PROJECT OCTANT :
Previous Generations Of The Test Section Design
The Test Section — Embry-Riddle’s standardized cylindrical test section developed for reliable and manufacturable hypersonic research. Built around ASME-standard interfaces, pipe sizing, and modular optical ports, The cylindrical design provides a practical foundation for integrating a wide range of experiments into the reflected shock tunnel.
