AEDC (Arnold Engineering Development Center) Hypersonics Test and Evaluation Workshop Held at Arnold AFB, Tennessee on 6-8 April 1994
Abstract
On April 6-S, 1994, a Hypersonic Test and Evaluation (T&E) Workshop was held at Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). This workshop was sponsored by Dr. Leonidas Sakell of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The organizers of the workshop were Maj. M. Briski for the AEDC Air Force and R.K. Matthews for Micro Craft Technology, support contractor for aerodynamic testing at AEDC. During the original planning for this workshop, two goals were set. These were: (1) Define methodology as it applies to development of hypersonic flight systems, and (2) Develop methodologies for two specific technology areas in hypersonics: aerodynamics and aerothermal. As the meeting progressed, it seemed there were broader concerns which should be addressed. Consequently, the goals shifted somewhat to encompass two major subjects: Define an integrated hypersonic T&E methodology. Describe an optimum plan for using the existing national assets in ground test, flight test, and computational capability. This report describes some of the discussion which ensued and presents conclusions from the meeting.
