A high enthalpy shock tunnel is a potential facility for gaining knowledge to develop modern aerothermodynamic and propulsion technologies. The largest high enthalpy shock tunnel HIEST was built at NAL Kakuda in 1997, aiming for aerothermodynamic tests of Japan's space vehicle HOPE and scramjet propulsion systems. Selected topics from the experimental studies carried out using HIEST so far, such as the nonequilibrium aerodynamics of HOPE, the surface catalytic effect on aerodynamic heating and scramjet performance are described.
