The Response of Aircraft Camouflage Lacquers to Thermal Radiation. Part 2. 6000 Degrees K Radiator and 800 ft/sec Air Flow

Abstract

Three colors of each of two lacquers on aluminum panels were exposed to radiation simulating that from 100 KT and 1 MT weapons, while air at a velocity of 800 ft/sec flowed across the exposed surface of the panels. Differences in the response of the lacquer-color combinations were observed, temperatures at the rear surface of the panels were measured, and an expression relating response to weapon size was derived.
