Zusammenfassung: | A leading edge assembly for a hypersonic vehicle is provided. The leading edge assembly includes an outer wall that tapers to a leading edge, the outer wall having a porous region at the leading edge; a coolant supply assembly in fluid communication with the porous region for selectively providing a flow of coolant through the porous region of the outer wall; and an insulation layer disposed between a portion of the coolant supply assembly and the outer wall, wherein the insulation layer is configured to reduce heat transfer between the coolant supply assembly and the outer wall. |
