LEADING EDGE DESIGNS FOR HYPERSONIC VEHICLES
microVection employees have worked on four generations of
leading edge designs, beginning in 1989 and continuing to the present
day. In general the trend in leading edge design has been away from
fairly sharp film cooled leading edges and towards extremely sharp
convection cooled leading edges. In the fourth generation leading
edge radii as small as 0.015" are being considered.
