PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION, HEAT TRANSFER, AND DRAG TESTS ON THE GOODYEAR BALLUTE AT MACH 10

Abstract

Heat transfer and distribution tests were conducted on rigid models of the ballute, and drag measurements were obtained on flexible models which were either inflated with ram air or pre-inflated with a bladder. The flexible models were fabricated from a woven stainless steel cloth (Rene' 41 cloth) and impregnated with a silicone polymer to decrease porosity. The Reynolds number range investigated was from 0.36(10exp+6) to 1.80(10exp+6) per foot, and all data were obtained at zero angle of attack.
