Abstract:At present, the hypersonic vehicles cannot be adapted to all the flight phases perfectly, and the aerodynamic heating and lift - to - drag ratio are contradictory to the shape of the vehicles. From the perspective of aerodynamic heating, a blunt shaped body is desired to reduce the heat flow of the hypersonic vehicles. However, the lift - to - drag ratio demands a sharp leading edge. In this paper, a scheme of variable leading edge which could satisfy with both the requirements of aerodynamic heating and lift-… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
