A hypersonic jet entering the upper atmosphere

Home

Welcome

Hypersonic vehicles are used for space exploration, national security, and perhaps for passenger transport in the future. The design of these flying vehicles involves consideration of a number of complex, closely interrelated areas. This theme convenes faculty from across the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder with expertise in aerodynamics, propulsion, materials, structures, controls and optimization.
