5. AIAA HyTASP PC Charter
Today, hypersonics involves cutting edge technologies comparable in their potential to the development of the jet engine, high-speed swept-wing aircraft, and the breaking of the sound barrier.
The goal of the HyTASP committee is to ensure that our hypersonics knowledge base, advanced over the last decade, flourishes and leads to expanded market opportunities in the 21st century.
The committee involves government, industry, university and international members, working within the framework and charter of the American Institute Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
We will promote continued hypersonic technology progress through both ground and flight-testing.
We will accomplish this by:
Coordinating and focusing hypersonics activities across the AIAA.
Working with other US and international societies to enhance an awareness of hypersonics issues and opportunities.
Promoting conferences, short courses and the writing of position papers to expose the technical community, government and public to the importance and potential of hypersonic flight.
With regard to the last point, a major activity of the committee is the organizer of the AIAA International Space Planes and Hypersonic Systems and Technologies Conference, held every 18 months

JHC – commented on need for more input from P&E as to where the TC/Group fit into the big picture.
