Abstract: The aerothermodynamic environment of a hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerator with a flexible thermal protection system has been investigated through wind-tunnel testing. Boundary-layer transition onset locations and surface heating distributions were measured using global phosphor thermography… read more here.
