Purdue to Host New Hypersonics Test Facility

摘要

A facility to test hypersonic capabilities will be built at Purdue University's Research Park Aerospace District adjacent to the university's campus, the school announced in August. The Hypersonic Ground Test Center, or HGTC, was announced during a two-day Hypersonics Summit hosted by Purdue and the National Defense Industrial Association. The academic institution was chosen to be a "neutral host" for HGTC, which will be an independent consortium created and defined by industry members, said Mung Chiang, executive vice president of Purdue University and the dean of the College of Engineering.
