Kinetic Heating of Aircraft Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The design of aircraft subjected to kinetic heating is the same as any other structural problem. First, the loading condition must be determined, then the structure has to be designed to withstand that condition and finally the design must be confirmed by test. This lecture follows this pattern and does so in the same order.
The source of the energy that is transferred to the structure is the aerodynamic boundary layer and a study of the boundary layer forms the main part of the lecture. During the past few years a large amount of work has been done and the Society is proposing to issue Data Sheets this year to replace those issued in 1955. The same work forms the basis from which the present proposed values of heat transfer coefficients are obtained.
