Addressing technical challenges to develop hypersonic flight
The Notre Dame Hypersonic Systems Initiative engages the University's broad expertise in engineering and science to address the technical challenges of developing efficient, hypersonic flight vehicles.
The Initiative fosters a “system-of-systems” approach that recognizes the interdependence of the different design elements, and provides coordination at their interfaces.
