JTP Elec-Mech: The Quest for Hypersonic Flight
Combined Electrical & Electronic and Mechanical Joint Technical Program Event, hosted by IEEE.
Engineers House, Chapman Hall, 11 Bagot Street, North Adelaide
6.15pm Tuesday 19th June 2007
Refreshments from 5:30pm
Speaker: Dr Colin Coleman, DSTO
Australia has recently entered into a joint agreement with the US Air Force to undertake basic research into phenomena associated with hypersonic flight. This will involve a series of 10 flight tests at Woomera leading to a demonstration of sustained hypersonic flight for a period of up to a minute. The flights will aim to achieve speeds of Mach 7 or 8. This talk will review the basics of hypersonic flight, discuss the objectives of the flight program, and reflect upon the motivations for Australia to become engaged in this challenging but inspiring initiative.
