The use of hydrogen combustion based scramjets as propulsion units is one promising possibility to drive hypersonic passenger transport. Although hydrogen-fueled future vehicles do prevent CO2 emission, the formation of NO and H2O during the combustion process may have environmental effects, especially for the atmosphere in the targeted flight altitudes. Therefore, the experimental determination of NO and H2O production in hydrogen combustion is of interest during studies on scramjet models and the corresponding propulsion processes in the High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen (HEG). The HEG is a large scale facility of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and it is operated by the Department Spacecraft of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Göttingen being one of the major European hypersonic test facilities.
