Historically, testing in the 10x10 Supersonic Wind Tunnel involved aeronautics type testing including testing of Supersonic Propulsion Components such as inlets and nozzles, Propulsion System Integration, Full-scale Jet and Rocket Engines, Aerodynamic Force and Moment testing, Sonic Boom Mitigation and the investigation of Advanced Aircraft Models. The New Space Directive(s) called for new areas of testing. Two interesting and challenging tests were proposed for the 10x10 SWT, the Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (IAD) and the Mars Science Lab (MSL) Flexible Parachute. This presentation highlights those tests and plans for future testing in the 10x10 SWT.
