Hypersonics, Counter-Hypersonics and High-Speed Propulsion
Research focus
Monash has a long history of research in hybrid rockets, continued through the Monash High-Powered Rocketry team. Monash is a founding member of the Australian Rocket Systems Training Network, an initiative to develop domestic capacity across TAFE, industry, and academia.
Monash’s expertise will continue to grow with a newly-commissioned rocket-testing facility, a new rocket-nozzle diagnostics laboratory, and will host an ARC Fellow specialising in rocket-nozzle dynamics.
Monash also has significant expertise in aerospace-grade composite structures, particularly the high-temperature composites necessary to sustain hypersonic flight.
