ARMD NRA AWARDS: FUNDAMENTAL AERONAUTICS PROGRAM
Supersonics Project
The goal of the Supersonics project is to conduct long-term, cutting-edge research in the core competencies of the supersonic regime, thereby producing knowledge, data, capabilities, technologies, and design tools at the foundational, discipline, multidiscipline and systems levels that will address the technical challenges for two supersonic vehicle classes: practical supersonic cruise vehicles and High Mass Mars Entry Systems.

The project is organized along the following major technical challenges that have been identified for the two vehicle classes: efficiency (supersonic cruise, light weight and durability at high temperature); environmental challenges (airport noise, sonic boom, high altitude emissions); performance challenges (aero-propulso-servo-elastic analysis and design); entry descent and landing challenges (supersonic deceleration); and multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimization challenges.

The following are ROA-2006 NRA awards for the Supersonics Project, with the most recent listed first.
