Abstract
In the present work cold (without high temperature effects) flow test experiments on a linear aerospike nozzle are carried out using the test rig available at Politecnico di Torino. Mean pressure distributions are measured in order to characterize the flow evolution along the nozzle plug. First results show a good agreement between the measurements in the present experiment and those reported in literature.Keywords
