Abstract:
The study was conducted to determine how accurately aerodynamic heating is simulated in the laboratory with radiant heat lamps under computer control. A study of aerodynamic heating theory resulted in the preparation of a digital computer program for calculating the parameters required as input data for the heat rate computer. The heat rate computer is used to control the heat input to an actual flight test specimen. Laboratory test results are compared with flight measured data to determine the degree of simulation. Test results indicate that aerodynamic heating may be adequately simulated up to 600F. Laboratory simulation to higher temperatures is being studied for future programs.
