AIAA HyTASP PC Charter
•
•
•
•
•
Today, hypersonics involves cutting edge technologies comparable in their potential to the
development of the jet engine, high-speed swept-wing aircraft, and the breaking of the sound
barrier.
The goal of the HyTASP committee is to ensure that our hypersonics knowledge base,
advanced over the last decade, flourishes and leads to expanded market opportunities in the
21st century.
The committee involves government, industry, university and international members, working
within the framework and charter of the American Institute Aeronautics and Astronautics
(AIAA).
We will promote continued hypersonic technology progress through both ground and flighttesting.
We will accomplish this by:
 Coordinating and focusing hypersonics activities across the AIAA.
 Working with other US and international societies to enhance an awareness of hypersonics issues and
opportunities.
 Promoting conferences, short courses and the writing of position papers to expose the technical
community, government and public to the importance and potential of hypersonic flight.
•
With regard to the last point, a major activity of the committee is the organizer of the AIAA
International Space Planes and Hypersonic Systems and Technologies Conference, held every
18 months

HyTASP PC Bank Account (Tim O’Brien)
• Recently discovered that the PC has a bank account
• We currently have $709 in the account (see next chart for 2014 account
activity from AIAA)
• It is unknown if the PC has a process in place to agree upon how to spend
these funds and who would keep track of these funds
• Potential processes to approve expenditure of funds:




Majority vote at PC meeting (with or without quorum requirements)
Majority vote via email (with or without quorum requirements)
Majority vote by HyTASP PC leadership, then notify membership for any objections
Others?
• Potential candidates to manage PC funds:
 Past chair, current chair, current vice-chair, new PC position, others?

HyTASP PC Bank Account – Cont’d (Tim O’Brien)
• Possible uses for current funds:
 Commemorative plaque to Dave Van Wie for his service in organizing the Hypersonics
conference
 Educational / STEM activity
 Strategic activity to grow the committee
