NOL's Hypersonic Tunnel No. 4 is a continuous blow-down hypersonic tunnel designed for research and development testing of models, instrumentation, and wind tunnel components. It can operate at Mach numbers from 5 to 10 with supply pressures up to 52 atmospheres and supply temperatures up to 1700 R. This report summarizes the pertinent aerodynamic design criteria and operating experience compiled during its first eleven years of operation. Included are descriptions of the major components and their performance along with the flight simulation capability of the facility and a bibliography of previously published reports. (Author).

The report summarizes the performance capability data of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory's Hypersonic Tunnel. The report includes a brief description of the facility, overall performance capability data, nozzle calibration data, and some nozzle boundary-layer thickness and temperature variation data. The nozzle aerodynamic design method is indicated and its adequacy in the range of the supply and test flow conditions of the Hypersonic Tunnel is briefly discussed. (Author).
