    The University of Virginia Supersonic Combustion Facility is an electrically-heated supersonic wind tunnel that is capable of simulating a hypersonic vehicle flying at five times the speed of sound. The facility is used in research that is aiding the development of scramjet engines that one day could propel vehicles at speeds of up to 15 times the speed of sound.
