Hypersonics Forum

VIRTUAL EVENT Advanced hypersonic weapons and vehicles have emerged as some of the highest priorities for defense agencies and military branches as the nation works to combat significant adversarial pacing […]

Virtual UCAH Student Association Town Hall

Come engage with other students exploring hypersonics in an informal discussion-based meeting. Meet with the directors of the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics student association where they will go over the student association’s mission, current initiatives, and future direction. Come share your thoughts! We’d love to hear your interests, what you’d like to see from […]

UCAH Leadership Meeting

The Leadership Meeting, open to advisory board members, will be held on Thursday, September 22, 2022. To receive more information and register please reach out to [email protected].

University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics Seminar Series: Instabilities in the Wake of Roughness on a Flat Plate in a Quiet Supersonic Tunnel

Abstract: Roughness-induced transition is an unavoidable reality in practical high-speed vehicles. Typical prediction of transition due to roughness include algebraic correlations and, more recently, semi-empirical methods. In the NASA Langley Research Center Supersonic Low Disturbance Tunnel, a Mach 3.5 quiet tunnel, several transition experiments have been performed in the past decade to better understand the […]

Hypersonic Weapons Summit Fall

Guiding Hypersonic Development to Operationalize Capabilities for US National Security Goals The US has actively pursued the development of hypersonic weapons as a part of its conventional prompt global strike program since the early 2000s. In recent years, it has focused such efforts on hypersonic glide vehicles and hypersonic cruise missiles with shorter and intermediate ranges for […]

2022 Hypersonic Technology & Systems Conference

Sustained hypersonic flight within dense atmosphere has substantial utility. Advances in underlying technologies and integration into weapon systems offer the DoD significant enhancements in its ability to penetrate heavily defended areas and prosecute time-critical targets. Other nations are also actively pursuing these technologies; as such, defense against such systems is also of increased interest. The […]

University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics Seminar Series: Discrete Roughness Boundary-Layer Transition at Hypersonic Conditions

Boundary layer transition at hypersonic conditions is a critical design concern for all future high-speed missions and vehicles.  As part of the vehicle design process, accurate methods are needed to predict transition behavior in flight, in order to correctly model the aerothermodynamic environments used to size a hypersonic vehicle’s thermal protections system.  In almost every […]

Hypersonic Defense 2022 Conference

A new era of ballistic missiles is imminent with a rapid race to develop the latest hypersonic weapons systems. There is also a pivotal issue to develop hypersonic defense systems to protect against the potential threat. NATO members are working to make sure the right capabilities are in place to defend from a hypersonic weapon. There is […]
