Mitigating hypersonic heat barrier via direct cooling enhanced by leidenfrost inhibition

Abstract Heat barrier, the unrestricted increase in airplane or rocket speeds caused by aerodynamic heating, which—without adequate provisions for cooling the exposed surfaces—can lead to the loss of a hypersonic vehicle’s reusability, maneuverability, and cost-effectiveness. To date, indirect therm...
