For over four decades, Sergey Macheret has been at the forefront of plasma science and hypersonic technology. From fundamental research in high-enthalpy flows to cutting-edge aerospace applications, his work has shaped the way we understand and harness plasma for flight, energy, and propulsion.

In this episode, we explore:

• How plasma science is revolutionizing hypersonic flight and aerodynamics
• The role of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in shockwave control and propulsion
• His time at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Princeton, and Purdue shaping future engineers
• His latest innovations at US Plasma Engineering LLC, from nitrogen fixation to plasma-driven energy systems

Macheret’s legacy spans academia, industry, and applied research, proving that the future of aerospace isn’t just about speed—it’s about the science that makes it possible. Tune in to hear how plasma could shape the next generation of flight.
