Purdue hosting pioneering national conference on
hypersonics and defense
|
|
|
|
The inaugural National Defense Industrial Association Hypersonics Capabilities Conference, co-hosted with Purdue University, will wrap up today (Aug. 1). Military, government, congressional, industry and policy leaders have been discussing way to advance U.S. hypersonic systems — those involving Mach 5, or speeds five times the speed of sound, or more. In the opening session Tuesday, Gov. Eric Holcomb affirmed Indiana's commitment to this effort.
Purdue has nearly 40 world-renowned researchers in hypersonics and is developing plans for a facility featuring a Mach 8 quiet wind tunnel. Before the conference, President Mitch Daniels said, "Purdue is ready to establish itself as the ‘university hub’ of hypersonic research and development."
Shown above is a Tuesday panel in Stewart Center's Loeb Playhouse in which representatives of industry discussed this "new industrial base."
