Abstract
Development of a Mach 1.2 rain erosion test apparatus is described. This rotating arm apparatus is capable of evaluating the relative rain erosion resistance of materials and can be operated at speeds of 450 to 900 mph in a 1 or 2 inch/hour simulated rainfall. The report describes the design and development of the apparatus including the rotating arm, power train, test enclosure, rain simulation and control systems. Calibration and correlation experiments are also described.Keywords
