Pentagon officials have announced the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics, which they say is a critical step to advancing hypersonics research and innovation through a collaborative partnership between industry and universities.
Hypersonics: Advancing Aerodynamics for Accuracy
Moving at hypersonic speed—five times faster than the speed of sound—comes with a variety of challenges. Researchers at Texas A&M will be addressing these challenges through a combination of sophisticated mathematical computer modeling and cutting-edge experimentation to accurately predict maneuverability and survivability.
