Reinventing the cutting edge

ADVANCING AMERICA’S HYPERSONIC TECHNOLOGY

Leading defense technologies

THE EPICENTER OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

The Hypersonics Ground Test Center (HGTC) is a first-of-its-kind test facility in the U.S. to test hypersonic technologies. It provides the full cycle of conditions and propulsion transitions from Sea Level Static to Mach 7.5.

The Triple Helix

Together, we will create a safer nation

When industry, government and academia work together, the United States will remain dominant in technology, advanced manufacturing, and global security.

Creating this first-in-the-nation center is possible because we have industry partners that aren’t just on the cutting edge but are reinventing where the edge is.
