Last updated October 2007.David Glass (1978, BS Mathematics). After graduating from Wake Forest in 1978, I obtained a masters degree from Carolina in Health Physics, followed by a masters and PhD. from NC State in Mechanical Engineering. After graduate school, I went to work for NASA. I currently work at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. My area of concentration is high temperature structures and materials for hypersonic vehicles (speed greater than about Mach 5). As part of my work at NASA, I led the government effort to develop the leading edges (with operating temperatures above 3000F) for the X-43 flight vehicle. The X-43 set the world speed record of Mach 9.8 in Nov 2004 for an airbreathing airplane. I am currently working with DARPA on other advanced hypersonic flight vehicles.I am married to the former Becky Evans, a graduate of Meredith College. Becky is a Pastoral Counselor and is currently serving as part-time Interim Minister of Education in our church. We live in Yorktown, VA and have two sons. Parker is in the 6th grade and Evan is in the 3rd grade. Both boys love sports and are actively involved in whatever sport is in season. We are also very active in Hampton Baptist Church.
