SOME DESIGN ASPECTS OF HYPERSONIC VEHICLES.

Abstract

Some design concepts of hypersonic vehicles are present including fundamental high velocity flight mechanics, prediction of hypersonic aerodynamic characteristics, and the optimization of hypersonic lifting bodies and hypersonic cruise vehicles. The material represents that which was given in lecture form at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Brussels, Belgium as part of a short course on Hypersonic Aircraft to engineers of the NATO countries on 19-23 Jan 70.
