Description National Aerospace Laboratories has recently established the Aeropropulsion Mach 3.6 test facility for experimental research on 'High Speed Combustors'. This is a blow down type test facility and simulates the combustor inlet conditions of Mach number and Temperature corresponding to the flight Mach number of 6 and an altitude of 25 km. The details of the facility, it's operation and flow characteristics have been described in this paper. The salient features of the control system of the facility has also been discussed. The facility was commissioned and operationalized in March 2012 and the flow conditions obtained at the test section are Mach number 3.6, total temperature 1700 K, pressure 18 bar with 12 s of effective test duration. This facility can be used as a semi-freejet test facility for the experimental research on the high speed combustors.
