Abstract
Because of the almost-literal abandonment of commitment to hypersonics that occurred in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, very few of the competent scientists and engineers in the United States are trained in hypersonics — or even aware of the issues. The purpose of this paper is to introduce some of the technical challenges facing the field of hypersonics propulsion and thereby to challenge the research community to address them.
