USU Helping Speed Up Super & Hypersonic Flight

The AeroLab at Utah State University is changing the way engineers design aeronautical vehicles with new, optimized design software built from scratch.

Not only does this new software speed up the design phase for supersonic and hypersonic vehicles, but it will allow industry and military to efficiently produce and analyze designs in the preliminary stages.

The Aerolab, led by Doug Hunsaker, a professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, specializes in creating software for aeronautical vehicle design. This new, innovative software allows users to input a rough design to see how it would hypothetically perform during flight. Through aerodynamic theory and equations, it can predict aircraft properties in flight such as lift, drag and even surface temperatures.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, plus 30 campuses throughout Utah. And as long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.

USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on Homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream — even with a foot of snow on the ground.
