AERODYNAMIC AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSES OF RADOME SHELLS. VOLUME I. AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

An analysis of the aerodynamic and stress problems encountered in the design of radome shells is presented in two volumes. This volume discusses the aerodynamics with special emphasis on the calculation and reduction of heat transfer to the radome. Results are shown for Mach numbers up to 7 and altitudes to 150,000 eet. A chapter on shock layer ionization is also included in which the flow field about a typical radome configuration is studied for Mach numbers of 15 and 20 at altitues of 150,000 and 200,000 feet.
