Course Objectives The technologies necessary for the effective development of engines and structures for use in hypersonic systems are examined in this course. The course educates the highperformance systems necessary for ram/scramjet operation in all hypersonic regimes using a theoretical foundation, high temperature materials focusing on vehicle integration and compatibility with other propulsion cycles suggested for various hypersonic vehicle applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the basic concepts and principles of hypersonic aerophysics.
  • Evaluate those technologies needed for the development of hypersonic systems.
  • Define hypersonic vehicle integration.
  • Predict the performance and vehicle behavior subject to different loads by CFD and FE modeling.
  • Apply right tools for hypersonic reusable aircraft and missile propulsion designing.
Course Description The course describes hypersonic flight vehicles and their performance,aerothermodynamics of hypersonic propulsion and hypersonic air breathing propulsion performance. In this course advanced high temperature materials, aerostructures and hypersonic aircraft concept design are discussed.
