"Hurricane Mesa Test Facility 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."
