The U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics now offers a graduate certificate program in hypersonic flight. The field of hypersonics has emerged as a technical discipline that is critical to ensure the United States will be able to fight and win future conflicts. The graduate certificate in hypersonic flight is specifically designed to produce technical professionals who can understand, evaluate, and communicate the unique complexities of the hypersonic flight environment.
