Abstract:
An investigation of ablation materials was conducted for application to an advanced, Mach 8 modification of the X-15 Research Airplane. Performance of the selected material, thermo-lag T-500, was evaluated in plasma tunnel tests and in flight tests. Estimates were made of required ablator weight and thicknesses at stagnation and non-stagnation areas of the Advanced X-15A-2. Performance data, resulting from actual flight tests, plasma tunnel tests and analytical predictions, were compared.
