Advanced methods for organizing thermal protection of hypersonic aircrafts

Abstract

On the basis of analytical and experimental data, this paper presents possible levels of thermal loading of reusable hypersonic aircrafts. Methods for ensuring the thermal regime of such aircrafts using various passive and active thermal protection technologies are considered. The conducted analysis of the scientific and technical background in terms of the practical implementation of these technologies allowed the authors to draw the conclusion about the relevance and expediency of creating an integrated thermal protection system for reusable high-speed aircrafts.
