  • This is a written version of the keynote speech delivered at the International Symposium on Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics - Recent Advances held in Bangalore, India, from December $6^{th}$ to $10^{th}$, 2012. In this document, what was accomplished in the past, the present status, and what is expected in the future in the field of hypersonic aerothermodynamics are reviewed. Solved problems are categorized into four items; unsolved problems into twelve items, and emerging problems into four items. Removing one degree uncertainty in trim angle of attack, studying the thermochemical phenomena in a hydrogen-helium-methane mixture, and entry flights of meteoroids are cited as the tasks for the future.

  • At the University of Queensland (UQ), research into the performance of high-speed (in excess of 7000km/hr) air-breathing engines in the form of supersonic combustion ramjets (or scramjets) has been made for almost 20 years. This has been possible because the T3 and T4 shock tunnels, located at the ANU and UQ, respectively can simulate these conditions. However, like all facilities, there are differences between the flow generated in these facilities and that, which occurs in flight. The correlation between the two has not been determined for these facilities, or indeed for any shock tunnel performing supersonic combustion experiments. The aim of the HyShot flight program is to obtain this correlation by undertaking a sounding rocket program based at Woomera in South Australia. The seminar will discuss new approach taken by the UQ researches in developing this cost effective flight program, as well as the triumphs and disappointments which have been encountered so far in completing this somewhat ambitious program.

  • DARPA carries out several R&D programs for hypersonic vehicles to maintain the U.S. military superiority in air and space. Falcon program is the core of the DARPA's activitiy for the hypersonics including the long-term step-by-step approach from HTV-1, HTV-2, HTV-3X to HCV. Hypersonic Turbo-Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine technologies research and development programs, HiSTED, FaCET and Vulcan, are also the parts of their activities. Present article presents the summarized review on the backgrounds, technologies and relationships of those programs.
