Challenges in hypersonic design
Raytheon Missiles & Defense
Abstract
Hypersonic flight has seen a significant increase in research/interest over the last decade. However, this flight regime poses unique design challenges. Raytheon Missile & Defense has been a major contributor in furthering hypersonic missile development. This talk will outline some of the challenges involved in the hypersonic air breathing and hypersonic boost glide missions.
