Assertion (A): Shock tunnels are used for hypersonic testing despite run times of only milliseconds.

Reason (R): No continuous facility can affordably supply the stagnation enthalpy hypersonic flight requires.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Reproducing the enormous stagnation temperature continuously would demand impossible power, whereas a reflected shock delivers it briefly and cheaply. Milliseconds is long enough for the flow to establish and be measured.
