Abstract
This paper is the third in a series that examine the historical aspects of specific areas of aerospace research conducted by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, which in 1972 was converted by Cornell University to for-profit status and renamed Calspan Corporation. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the development of the technology at the laboratory and to review selected programs and how they contributed to the national aerospace program. This third paper explores the life of Abraham Hertzberg and his hypersonics program which was largely conducted at the facilities in Buffalo, New York. It contains a discussion of his ideas for hypersonic research, his development of the first hypersonic shock tunnel and the wave superheater, and describes his subsequent career at the University of Washington in Seattle.
