Structure and Materials Aspects
摘要
This chapter is devoted to a short consideration of structure and materialsStructure and materials aspects of hypersonic airbreathers. Neither detailed design instructions are given, nor are flight operational issues treated. Overall the basic structural concepts of hypersonic airbreathers are the same as those of general aircraft: ‘build the structure as light as possible, but at the same time as durable as necessary’. The big differences are due to the thermalLoadsthermal loads, i.e., the wall Temperaturewall temperature and theHeat fluxinto the wall wall-heat flux \(q_{w}\) , which are to be dealt with.
