Upgrades Will Allow Testing of Bigger, Badder Systems in Race for Hypersonic Supremacy
GE Aerospace will spend a good chunk of money on its testing infrastructure at 3 locations, beefing up their ability to "conduct higher-mach, mission-relevant testing at a scale not previously possible." The first locale to get an upgrade is Evendale, Ohio, where GE will upgrade a facility to "provide dedicated test support for larger hypersonic propulsion systems than previously possible." The upgrades will allow for testing at higher Mach numbers than previously possible, while enabling more faithful simulation of real-world flight conditions.
