Boyd IRT Director Iain Boyd was recently quoted in a Washington Post in a story on China efforts to build advanced weapons systems using American chip technology. Speaking as as the director of the center for National Security
A new assistant professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder joins a growing group of faculty conducting research into the extreme conditions faced at Mach 5 and above.
Researchers at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder are leading a new $15 million, multi-partner institute with NASA over the next five years to improve entry, descent and landing technologies for exploring other planets.
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder is now offering a graduate-level hypersonics certificate to both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students.
Iain Boyd responds to a recent article in The New York Times.
NASA has plans to return astronauts from the moon using a hypersonic capsule. Nations like the U.S., Russia and China are actively developing missiles that can fly at hypersonic speeds. Further into the future, hypersonic fleets may carry tourists to and from space on a regular basis.
Timothy K. Minton is expanding critical research at the edge of space – uncovering chemical and physical processes in extreme environments like those experienced by satellites in Low Earth Orbit and hypersonic vehicles.
Join this virtual session to meet the IRT directors, hear their plans and learn how you can participate. This virtual session is open to all faculty, staff and students. Registration is required.
No single scientist or engineer, no matter how smart, could solve the challenges of controlled, maneuverable flight of an aircraft or returning spacecraft traveling at more than five times the speed of sound.
