A 2 1/2-day short course on Advanced Hypersonic Propulsion will be held at the National Institute of Aerospace in Hampton, Virginia, October 23-25, 2007. The course covers state-of-the-art propulsion systems for hypersonic vehicles with topics including fundamental physics and chemistry, component and cycle analysis, experimental validation and flight test. The lectures are presented by leading experts in the field. Course notes from the lecture materials will be available to attendees and faculty for use in developing academic courses in hypersonics.

For those unable to attend the presentation, the course will be broadcast through web collaboration/conferencing.

This course is part of a series of short courses being developed through a grant from the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) and organized and coordinated through NIA. The main goal of these courses is to develop materials in the field of hypersonics, which contains the latest advances to the state-of-the-art and which can be incorporated into hypersonics courses taught at US universities. The first course, Fundamentals of Hypersonic Flight was presented on September 10-14, 2007 and the course materials are available on http://www.nianet.org/shortcourses/hypersonics.php.

In addition to Advanced Hypersonic Propulsion,  a short course on Advanced Hypersonic Aerodynamics will be presented on December 13-14, 2007. Registration will be available on November 5, 2007. Additional courses on Hypersonic Structures and Materials and Hypersonic Systems Integration will be presented during the first quarter of 2008.
