Fundamentals of HypersonicsCourse DescriptionThe Fundamentals of Hypersonics (FOH) short course provides a comprehensive training experience in the basic principles, technologies, and methodologies of hypersonics. Course material also explores aerodynamics-related topics that are intimately connected to hypersonic flight test and flight research operations.
Participants will acquire a sound understanding of hypersonic aerophysics and the effects of the hypersonic flight environment on vehicle loads and performance, including a consideration of both continuum flow and rarefied flow aerodynamic effects. They will understand the basics of hypersonic air breathing propulsion and the importance of having an accurate aero-propulsion force accounting system.
Finally, participants will come to appreciate the extensive and impressive history of hypersonic flight and its influence on both current day and projected hypersonic programs.
