Supporting Hypersonic Flight Through UCAH and Research (Member Exclusive Webinar)

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Rodney D. W. Bowersox, Associate Dean for Research and Ford Professor, Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University, TEES Executive Director, OUSD JHTO University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site  with your member credentials to be able to register for the webinar.

This webinar is brought to you by the HyTASP Technical Committee and is offered exclusively to AIAA members. Want to learn more about the benefits of AIAA membership?

Join Dr. Rodney Bowersox as he presents an overview of the OUSD Joint Hypersonics Transition Office sponsored University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH). UCAH is envisioned as a collaborative inclusive network of universities, government, industry, and national laboratories collaborating to deliver time-sensitive applied hypersonic research and prototype solutions to the DOD. The consortium membership includes 80 universities, 76 industries, and 8 national labs, FFRDCs and UARCs. A description of the organization structure and engagement opportunities is provided.

Additionally, Bowersox will present an overview of the hypersonic turbulent aerothermochemistry research at Texas A&M University. The focus of the research is to extend modeling to include mechanical, thermal, and chemical non-equilibrium effects. Three examples are discussed: (1) 2-D Mach 5 flow with pressure gradients, (2) 2-D Mach 6 flow with thermal non-equilibrium plasma, and (3) the BOLT II Flight Test in Memory of Mike Holden, which will produce a 3-D Mach 6 boundary layer with pressure gradients, non-iso-thermal walls, and a complex transition process.

The Urgency to Act on Space Traffic Management

Our dynamic panel will explain the basics of STM and why it is so important for space safety, sustainability, and security. They will describe the steps we have already taken to implement STM and the most important missing elements that still need action. Most importantly, you will gain an understanding of why this is an urgent issue that needs action now, and, how such action will send a strong, responsible signal to the international aerospace community.

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Space Sustainability – Advancing the Benefits to Earth and Orbit


This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.

AIAA and Lockheed Martin have assembled a stellar panel to bring you up to speed on space sustainability. This rapidly evolving topic encompasses sustainability efforts on Earth facilitated from space, actions to mitigate orbital debris, and continued safe human access to space. Learn how the latest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues from climate change to human rights relate to space-based systems and join in the discussion on what is being done to support space sustainability.

This event is open to the public and free of charge.

AVIATIONxWebinar: General Aviation Post Pandemic – An Opportunity to Provide Alternative Air Transportation

This webinar is hosted by AIAA, in collaboration with PEGASAS.

Due to COVID-19, general aviation has the potential to emerge as a more frequently utilized transportation option, offering the ability to avoid traveling in high-capacity commercial aircraft and providing frequency of service or routes that are no longer available commercially. This gives general aviation an opportunity to leverage interest in technology developments for urban and regional air mobility. Join us as we explore what needs to be addressed to make this happen.

This webinar is open to the public and free of charge.

AIAA Corporate Member Connect: The New Normal of Aerospace Cybersecurity Compliance

Cybersecurity is in the headlines almost daily. The aerospace and defense industry is already taking big steps to improve the safety and security of IT systems, like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program — CMMC. CMMC is a Department of Defense initiative that takes a continuous, structural approach to cybersecurity. Soon, it will be a feature of all Federal procurements. Agencies like NASA and FAA are already evaluating for solicitations and are not limited to traditional IT.

AIAA Corporate Members can learn more about CMMC at the AIAA Corporate Member Connect event on Thursday, 21 October. Find out more about how CMMC will impact aerospace projects from CMMC Expert and Registered Practitioner, Carter Schoenberg of SoundWay Consulting.

Audience takeaways:
  • The current status of the CMMC program, and what’s next for its implementation
  • What is unique about aerospace and military space markets
  • What your project or company can do now to prepare for CMMC
  • How CMMC will help your company, your products, and your customers—even if the US government is not your primary customer

 This webinar is an exclusive corporate member event. If your employer has an AIAA corporate membership and you would like to attend this event, please send an email to Nancy Hilliard

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Digital Twin Value—Driving The Entire Product Life Cycle

Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Maturity Model
Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Overview

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.

Digital Twins have captured our collective imagination for years, representing the ultimate tool for understanding and optimizing design, manufacturing, and sustainment of complex systems. But how can it bring value to the Aerospace and Defense industry? Join us online as AIAA and Lockheed Martin bring together a panel of experts to explore this topic and talk though the value of this complex technology. In an unclassified 60-minute webinar, learn more about the capability and how – through interoperability and applying digital twin technology across the product life cycle – we can visualize our industry and the world like never before. :

  • Discussion from industry, government and academia around cutting-edge successes and industry-wide challenges with digital twin
  • Integration of digital engineering, complete digital thread and digital twins to complement all stages of the product life cycle – for both new and legacy programs
  • Importance of digital twin interoperability across organizations – Partnership with the customer and supply chain to transform how we acquire, develop and maintain products faster – and more effectively – than ever before
  • Evolution of the Lockheed Martin Digital Twin Maturity Model and what that means for early concept models through sustainment
