The University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH) Spring Forum Plenary and Technical Area Workshops will be held virtually in several sessions over April 19-22, 2021.
Dr. David Van Wie, Head of the Air and Missile Defense Sector of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, will present perspectives on hypersonics, starting from fundamental principles with an emphasis on hypersonic cruise and boost-glide weapons.
Abstract Hypersonic vehicle design is a multidisciplinary optimization problem. Vehicle configurations are chosen and refined to meet a set of requirements all within the tight constraints set by the hypersonic environment. Parameters including lift-to-drag ratio, volume/weight, maneuvering characteristics, and thermal management, to name a few, are all of the first-order considerations for an operationally relevant […]
Hypersonic flight provides an unprecedented capability by simultaneously extending range and reducing transit time—enabling rapid reach and global targeting.

Abstract Research at the University of Queensland over the past 40 years has been extensive, particularly in scramjet technology above M7. But the short duration test […]
University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics
Abstract The Boundary Layer Transition experiment represents an evolution in basic science flight testing for hypersonics. From the inception of the flight experiment design, academia has partnered with a university affiliated research center, government, industry, and international partners. Together, this diverse team worked rapidly in close coordination to develop and execute a sounding rocket flight test intended to gather boundary-layer transition data on a complex geometry in the flight environment. Although the flight test […]
