THE ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION OF THE THERMAL RESPONSE OF A TYPICAL AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE SUBJECTED TO TRANSIENT EXTERNAL HEATING AND COOLING.

Abstract

The thermal analysis is presented of a portion of the external surface thermal protection system and load bearing structure of a hypersonic vehicle, whose mission consists of a climb-out to 100,000 feet, cruise at Mach 6, descent, and a final phase, termed turn around, which includes landing rollout, refueling and maintenance. Temperature-dependent thermo-physical properties are utilized and compared to results obtained for constant thermo-physical properties.
