The T-34 hypersonic blowdown intermittent wind tunnel, used for ballistic and gas-thermodynamic model testing, is described in the paper. A pressure-vacuum flow scheme is used in order to achieve hypersonic speeds. The basic technical data and the description of the main wind tunnel parts are given. The nominal Mach number value is M=7 and its increase is considered in this paper.

 

Key words: experimental aerodynamics, wind tunnel, hypersonic flow.
