Book Synopsis Hypersonic Missile Nonproliferation by : Richard H. Speier
Download or read book Hypersonic Missile Nonproliferation written by Richard H. Speier and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2017 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypersonic missiles--specifically hypersonic glide vehicles and hypersonic cruise missiles--are a new class of threat because they are capable both of maneuvering and of flying faster than 5,000 kilometers per hour. These features enable such missiles to penetrate most missile defenses and to further compress the timelines for a response by a nation under attack. Hypersonic missiles are being developed by the United States, Russia, and China. Their proliferation beyond these three could result in other powers setting their strategic forces on hair-trigger states of readiness. And such proliferation could enable other powers to more credibly threaten attacks on major powers. The diffusion of hypersonic technology is under way in Europe, Japan, Australia, and India--with other nations beginning to explore such technology. Proliferation could cross multiple borders if hypersonic technology is offered on world markets. There is probably less than a decade available to substantially hinder the potential proliferation of hypersonic missiles and associated technologies. To this end, the report recommends that (1) the United States, Russia, and China should agree not to export complete hypersonic missile systems or their major components and (2) the broader international community should establish controls on a wider range of hypersonic missile hardware and technology.

Book Synopsis Innovative Concepts for Hypersonic System Performance Improvement by :
Download or read book Innovative Concepts for Hypersonic System Performance Improvement written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypersonic technologies and systems have been of interest for many years, yet only missile reentry vehicles (RV's) are currently in military use. Many advances in science and technology have occurred since R&D in hypersonic systems was last a focus of attention. If hypersonics is once again to draw attention, where should a new effort be focused? What military systems might be newly feasible or interesting? This review attempts to address this question. A brief review of the existing technology base is presented, to suggest what capabilities might soon be feasible, and also to suggest areas where DARPA efforts might enable new military missions.
Book Synopsis US Hypersonic Research and Development by : Roy F. Houchin II
Download or read book US Hypersonic Research and Development written by Roy F. Houchin II and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential new account of some of the most valuable research and development in international military history. Roy F. Houchin II shows how the roots of US Air Force hypersonic research and development are grounded in Army Air Force General Henry H. 'Hap' Arnold's identification of the need for advanced airpower weapon systems to meet the anticipated postwar enemy threat. The technology for a smooth transition to military spaceflight seemed within reach when Bell Aircraft Corporation executive Walter Dornberger (the former commander of Nazi Germany's V-2 rocket research) made an unsolicited proposal to William E. Lamar (the chief of Wright Aeronautical Development Center's New Development Office of the Bomber Aircraft Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH) for a hypersonic boost-glide weapon system. Visionaries like Arnold, Dornberger, and Lamar believed a hypersonic boost-glider would represent the ultimate expression of the US Air Force's doctrine by performing strategic bombardment and reconnaissance more successfully any other type of vehicle. As this aspiration reached maturity in Dyna-Soar, the service's leadership never gave up their beliefs. This book shows how the struggle to persuade the secretary of defence and his advisors, who did not share the Air Force's vision for a military spaceplane, illustrates the ebb and flow of an advanced technology program and its powerful legacy within American society.

Book Synopsis Computation of Viscous Shock/shock Hypersonic Interactions with an Implicit Flux Split Scheme by : Datta V. Gaitonde
Download or read book Computation of Viscous Shock/shock Hypersonic Interactions with an Implicit Flux Split Scheme written by Datta V. Gaitonde and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction of an impinging shock with the bow-shock generated by a blunt geometry is examined numerically for hypersonic (Mach 8, perfect gas) flows with modified Steger-Warming flux-split scheme. The modifications are designed to reduce numerical dissipation in the boundary layer thus improving the resolution and accuracy of the resulting algorithm. The full 2-D Navier- Stokes equations are solved in finite-volume formulation with central differencing for viscous terms and residual driven line Gauss-Seidel relaxation for time advancement. Grid resolution studies are performed. For a Type IV interaction, comparison with surface pressure and heat-transfer rates display good overall agreement with experimental values. For a Type III+ interaction, a detailed comparison is made with experimental surface quantities and a computation with Van Leer's flux-splitting algorithm. The peak amplification of pressure is modestly overpredicted with the current algorithm. The computed peak heat transfer is comparable to that obtained in previous research with Van Leer's splitting, although anomalous behavior is observed in the vicinity of the stagnation point. This behavior may be eliminated with appropriate corrections.
Book Synopsis Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines, second edition by : Jack L. Kerrebrock
Download or read book Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines, second edition written by Jack L. Kerrebrock and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1992-04-22 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines is widely used as a text in the United States and abroad, and has also become a standard reference for professionals in the aircraft engine industry. Unique in treating the engine as a complete system at increasing levels of sophistication, it covers all types of modern aircraft engines, including turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops, and also discusses hypersonic propulsion systems of the future. Performance is described in terms of the fluid dynamic and thermodynamic limits on the behavior of the principal components: inlets, compressors, combustors, turbines, and nozzles. Environmental factors such as atmospheric pollution and noise are treated along with performance. This new edition has been substantially revised to include more complete and up-to-date coverage of compressors, turbines, and combustion systems, and to introduce current research directions. The discussion of high-bypass turbofans has been expanded in keeping with their great commercial importance. Propulsion for civil supersonic transports is taken up in the current context. The chapter on hypersonic air breathing engines has been expanded to reflect interest in the use of scramjets to power the National Aerospace Plane. The discussion of exhaust emissions and noise and associated regulatory structures have been updated and there are many corrections and clarifications.
Book Synopsis Facing the Heat Barrier by : T.A. Heppenheimer
Download or read book Facing the Heat Barrier written by T.A. Heppenheimer and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume from The NASA History Series presents an overview of the science of hypersonics, the study of flight at speeds at which the physics of flows is dominated by aerodynamic heating. The survey begins during the years immediately following World War II, with the first steps in hypersonic research: the development of missile nose cones and the X-15; the earliest concepts of hypersonic propulsion; and the origin of the scramjet engine. Next, it addresses the re-entry problem, which came to the forefront during the mid-1950s, showing how work in this area supported the manned space program and contributed to the development of the orbital shuttle. Subsequent chapters explore the fading of scramjet studies and the rise of the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) program of 1985–95, which sought to lay groundwork for single-stage vehicles. The program's ultimate shortcomings — in terms of aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials — are discussed, and the book concludes with a look at hypersonics in the post-NASP era, including the development of the X-33 and X-34 launch vehicles, further uses for scramjets, and advances in fluid mechanics. Clearly, ongoing research in hypersonics has yet to reach its full potential, and readers with an interest in aeronautics and astronautics will find this book a fascinating exploration of the field's history and future.
Book Synopsis The Phonics of Hypersonics by : Nicole Petrucci
Download or read book The Phonics of Hypersonics written by Nicole Petrucci and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hypersonics, speeds greater than Mach 5, have the capacity to change how the United States views strategic deterrence, forward presence, and military action. The USAF officially recognizes three principal missions utilizing hypersonics: (1) cruise missiles (2) reentry from space as a boost-glide vehicle, and (3) a high-speed accelerator used as a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) or reusable booster. The ability for the United States in general and the USAF, in particular, to operate offensively is inseparably tied to technology. In order for the US to maintain its offensive style of warfare, it must maintain a technological edge against other nations of the world. The first application of hypersonic technology into air-breathing military operations is the hypersonic cruise missile (HCM). It will re-create the capability gap between US offense and others’ defense and reinstate the dominance of Global Strike. The HCM is the natural evolution of a standoff strategic-bombing doctrine. A non-nuclear HCM provides flexibility to act as a firebreak to nuclear escalation. The US should field an autonomous, precision-guided nuclear and non-nuclear version of the long-range HCM with the intention of replacing current subsonic cruise missiles. The second hypersonic application is boost-glide reentry vehicle. A boost-glide reentry vehicle is expected to have precision accuracy and enable Prompt Global Strike (PGS) concepts, the ability to reach any target on the planet within an hour without relying on forward-based forces. A PGS system could revolutionize how the United States views strategy and reduce reliance on nuclear weapons by providing a range of options to achieve strategic effects, making the President less likely to authorize the use of nuclear weapons. The US should pursue hypersonic boost-glide with the intention of fielding a non-nuclear, intercontinental, PGS system. The third application of hypersonics provides access to space, in the form of reusable, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO). The best way to achieve SSTO is to allow commercial ventures to develop business-based, cost-effective, reusable SSTO, enabling the flow of goods and services in and through space, allowing a space economy to grow and develop. Low-cost access to space would energize and drive the need for a significant security presence in space. Technological change of this magnitude will not occur without strategic implications. Policy makers and military planners need to consider both as we move forward."--Abstract.
