Frontiers of Aerothermodynamics

Abstract

Desirable directions of future research in the field of aerothermodynamics are described. The possible future human endeavors in high speed flight and likely problems needing to be solved therein are enumerated. This includes flights in Earth s atmosphere, entry flights into outer planets, and radiation and ablation phenomena. Recommendations are made as to how these problems could be approached.
