China Now Has The World’s Most Powerful Hypersonic Wind Tunnel

[Alexandre Fedorovski]

The JF-22, located in Beijing, can simulate extreme flight conditions at 30 times the speed of sound.

After five years of construction, the most powerful wind tunnel on the planet has roared to life in China’s capital – a facility that will be key to advancing Beijing’s hypersonic ambitions.

Located in the mountainous Huairou district of northern Beijing, the JF-22 wind tunnel is 4 metres (13 feet) in diameter and can generate airflow speeds up to 10km (6.2 miles) per second, according to a final evaluation conducted on May 30.

That makes it the LARGEST and FASTEST wind tunnel IN THE WORLD , capable of simulating hypersonic flight conditions up to Mach 30, according to the Institute of Mechanics, the owner of the facility.

The tunnel will “support the research and development of China’s space transport system and hypersonic aircraft”, the institute said in a statement on Friday.

By comparison, the Mach 10 tunnel at Nasa’s Langley Research Centre in the United States, a primary hypersonic test facility, has a test section diameter of nearly 0.8 metres.

A larger test section enables researchers to put larger aircraft models or even an entire weapon into the wind tunnel to obtain more accurate flight data.

It must have Kamala at the end sucking on the pipe.
Glad to see she's finally sticking to her strengths

Factually China has the (not just one) largest hyper-sonic test, wind-tunnels already since 2017.

They forgot to put a start button on it.

"The U.S. Congress instructed Treasury Chief Yellen to work with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve to "prepare" and "be prepared" for a situation where China instantly gets rid of all its U.S. Treasury bonds."

That means be prepared for war. $850 billion being dumped overnight in this case....
