Extract

Kinetic heating, which is associated with supersonic flight, is probably the greatest challenge which has confronted the structural engineer, since the design and analysis of affected structures requires a radical extension of current practice. For example, the laws of heat transfer and the effects of high temperature on structural materials become important factors in structural analysis. To obtain a clear appreciation of the situation it is therefore necessary for the designers of the structure to become familiar with these factors, together with certain aspects of boundary layer theory.
