Control-oriented Modeling of an Air-breathing Hypersonic Vehicle
… can vary anywhere between 12 ft, like the NASA X-43A, to 100 ft, like the NASP demonstrator vehicle. On the other hand, the performance expectations can vary anywhere between cruising at Mach 5 @ 85; 000 ft to Mach 10 @ 110; 000 ft. Reduction of computational costs is essential to efficiently sort …

Development and Ground Testing of Direct Measuring Skin Friction Gages for High Enthalpy Supersonic Flight Tests
A series of direct-measuring skin friction gages were developed for a high-speed, high-temperature environment of the turbulent boundary layer in flows such as that in supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engines, with a progression from free-jet ground tests to a design for an actual hypersonic …
