Rocket-powered sled sets record at 1560 m.p.h. at Mojave Desert in California

The video tutorial covers a record-breaking sled run in the Mojave Desert, testing a radome from a jet interceptor. The sled, powered by rockets, reaches speeds over twice the speed of sound. Artificial rain is used to study its impact on the radome. The sled's motion is monitored using telemetering equipment, and the test concludes with the sled being halted by a water trough. The effects of supersonic rain on metal are analyzed by Air Force experts.

What is the primary purpose of the rockets in the sled run?

• To create artificial rain

• To test the durability of the sled

What is being tested on the sled during the run?

• The sled's navigation system

• A nose radome from a jet interceptor

• A new type of fuel

• The sled's braking system

Why is artificial rain created during the test?

• To clean the track

• To simulate weather conditions

• To study its effect on the radome

• To cool down the sled

What visual phenomenon is observed during the sled's run?

• A flash of light

• A rainbow

• A trail of smoke

• A dust storm

What is the purpose of the water trough in the sled test?
