No references found			In tests, during a 30-second phase inside the university's hypersonic wind tunnel, the planes, designed by the Japan Origami Airplane Association, survived temperatures of 250C (752F) and wind speeds of mach 7 - or seven times the speed of sound. Final frontier for origami paper planes by guardian.co.uk / guardian.co.uk It's a hypersonic wind tunnel that can simulate flight speeds up to around 16 times the speed of sound. The honest broker for science and technology by Lewis, Mark J. / Defense AT & L From those first tunnels grew a series of hypersonic wind tunnels that gave engineers the ability to test reentry vehicles at speeds up to Mach 14.
