National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	The Air Force sponsored Hypersonic Vehicle Electric Power System (HVEPS) program was a research program to develop scramjet driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power for an advanced high power, airborne electric power system. This program has been active for the past five years with various technical tasks being addressed that have encompassed engineering investigations of a myriad of technical issues related to airborne hypersonic MHD power system integration and operation. The integrated scramjet-driven MHD power demonstration ground test program was successfully accomplished in December 2006. The MHD power demonstration tests were conducted in the UTRC scramjet test cell wherein modifications to the test cell were made to install an in-line, direct fired MHD generator test article downstream of the facility's scramjet combustor.
