by Andrew Tate

China's new JF-22 hypersonic wind tunnel is expected to be ready for use in 2022, according to a 22 August report by state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV).

The report confirmed that the wind tunnel has been designed to be capable of simulating conditions for vehicles travelling at speeds of up to Mach 30 at altitudes between 40 km and 100 km.

As reported by Janes on 7 June, the facility is under construction at Huairou, on the northern outskirts of Beijing, under the auspices of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Science (IMCAS).

The capabilities of the JF-22 will extend the test facilities available to the State Key Laboratory of Gas Dynamics, which has operated the JF-12 hypersonic wind tunnel, capable of simulating conditions at speeds up to Mach 9, since 2012.
