GHIBLI Hypersonic Tunnel
The GHIBLI hypersonic plasma tunnel is a facility to simulate the conditions encountered by space vehicles re-entering the atmosphere. It can be considered the smaller brother of the other CIRA plasma tunnel, the SCIROCCO.
GHIBLI can test models up to 8 cm in diameter. Its characteristics are particularly suited to tests within development, selection and qualification projects of materials for high temperatures, new sensors and, generally, diagnostic techniques in the field of high temperatures.
