Low power (minimal ablation)

High power (significant ablation)

Rapid, Cost-Effective Arcjet Testing for Hypersonic and Reentry Materials

Applications:

Thermal Protection Systems (TPS)
Ablative material testing
High-temperature coatings
Hypersonic vehicle development
Hyperthermal plasma diagnostics

Our Mission:
Generate high-enthalpy plasma regimes to simulate atmospheric entry and high- speed flight conditions without the cost and delays of large-scale facilities.

Why this Matters?

Hypersonic vehicles and reentry systems depend on materials that can survive extreme thermal environments. Traditional test facilities are expensive, oversubscribed, and slow to access—limiting iteration speed.

Baldwin Aerospace enables fast, affordable ground testing so teams can develop and validate materials in weeks, not months.
