FUTURE OF HYPERSONIC FLIGHT
# 4 Embry-Riddle’s undergraduate Aerospace Engineering program is ranked no. 4 in the nation by “U.S. News and World Report” (among schools whose highest engineering degree offered is a doctorate). 17 YRS Embry-Riddle’s Aerospace Engineering program has been conducting externally-funded research and collaborations with industry on hypersonic technologies for the past 17 years. BEST Embry-Riddle’s Aerospace Engineering program places emphasis on real-world, “hands-on” applications within its curriculum and research endeavors, including several top ten performances (#1 in the U.S. in 2024) in the AIAA Design- Build-Fly competition (a prime competition for Aerospace Engineering students).
The U.S. aerospace industry is rapidly growing to support military and civilian applications of hypersonic flight: The Pentagon’s annual budget currently includes more than $4.7 billion/year to support hypersonic R&D, including for hypersonic defense systems and the recently formed U.S. Space Force. At NASA, research into space and hypersonic technologies is a priority to enable fast civilian travel on Earth, as well as to enable future exploration. Commercial space flight, including launch vehicles and space tourism, remains a rapidly growing sector involving hypersonic flight. Embry-Riddle’s Aerospace Engineering program provides a world-class education for joining the hypersonic workforce: The Aerospace Engineering department at Daytona Beach is the largest in the country with approximately 2,379 bachelor’s, 108 master’s and 71 Ph.D. students as of Fall 2025. Embry-Riddle has developed a specialized hypersonic curriculum within its top-ranked Aerospace Engineering program, including courses which address design and analysis of hypersonic vehicles using cutting-edge computational tools and experimental methods. Aerospace Engineering faculty have supported scramjet engine development programs for the DoD and NASA with high-fidelity computations, including development of novel turbulence-chemistry interaction models. Aerospace Engineering faculty are currently developing innovative devices to test ultra-high temperature materials under hypersonic-like thermo mechanical environments. Embry-Riddle is currently configuring and acquiring a variety of specialized experimental equipment for a new building dedicated to hypersonics research.
