    The Aerodynamic Heating of Atmosphere Entry Vehicles -A Review

    By H. Julian Allen*National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationAmes Research CenterMoffett Field, C a l i f .

    IntroductionIt w a s only a l i t t l e more than a decade ago that aeronautical

    engineers were faced with the challenge of designing the f i r s t long-range ba l l i s t i c miss i l es . Since the chemical rocket r equi res t h a tox id izer as wel l as fu el be carried, the energy content per u n i t pro-p e l l an t mass i s poor. I n addition, th e mean propulsive e ff ic ie nc y i slow s o t h a t th e r a t i o of launch weight t o empty weight i s very largeindeed. Hence every e f f o r t must be made t o keep th e payload a s la rg ea fraction of the empty weight as possible.therefore a prerequis i te for th e long-range roc ke t.

    designe rs were fac ed with the p r o b l e m of designing rocket motors thatwould produce very high th ru st but with l i t t l e weight. The structuralengineers were required t o bui ld the rocket sh el l s t ruct ure - mainlytankage t o hold the lar ge quantity of fu e l needed - the mass of whichw a s but a few percent of th e t o t a l mass a t launch. The guidance andcon tr ol ex pe rt s were c al le d up on to provide systems which would give amiss dis tance of about one m i l e a t a target five thousand miles away.The aerodynamicist was asked t o provide an e nt ry body f o r the warheadthat could successfully withstand the intense convective heatingexperienced upon reentry into the Ea rt h' s atmosphere.
