is owned and operated by Aircraft Interior Products Propulsion Systems. It is the nation's only privately-owned supersonic test track.

Located atop Hurricane Mesa near St. George in Southern Utah, the 12,000 ft. track is fully capable of handling propulsion velocities up to supersonic. The track level is at 5,100 MSL with the muzzle terminating at a 500-foot vertical cliff. The sloping terrain of the mesa provides an additional drop of 1,000 ft. to the valley floor below.

The Hurricane Mesa Test Facility is a completely self-sufficient high speed testing complex containing everything needed for extensive test programs of all types. No other domestic track can equal Hurricane Mesa for remoteness, privacy, security and on site facilities, including:

• Master Control Station
• Telemetry System Receiving Station
• Numerous Camera Stations
• Water Brake Arrestment System
• Approved Explosives Storage Bunkers
• Fabrication Shop
• Blockhouse
• Landing Strip (Improved Surface)
• Communications System
• Test Crew Living and Dining Quarters
• Recreation Facilities

In addition to the sheer escarpment of the mesa on three sides, a nine-foot chain link fence surrounds the facility. The wooded mesa top has a mean summer temperature of 76° F and a winter average of 46° F.
