This paper reports on preliminary experiments conducted in the Oxford High Density Tunnel (HDT) with
a 38.1 % scale model of the HIFiRE-5 flight vehicle at Mach 7 over a range of unit Reynolds numbers
between 8.5 × 106/m and 25.4 × 106/m. Model attitudes up to 2° pitch and yaw were investigated.
Instrumentation and diagnostics consisted of infrared thermography, thin-film heat transfer gauges,
surface pressure sensors and high-speed schlieren. The Stanton number distribution (derived from the
IR measurements) was found to be comparable with previously published data from other institutions
giving confidence in the diagnostics, analysis and test flow environment produced by HDT.
