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 flight-testing.

• 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 Shirts (Greg Johnston)

• Order placed for 18 of 32 shirts.• Existing orders can still be placed and will be shipped.• Paypal link was sent to pay with cc or can pay me directly

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 Others?
