Flight through Fire: A Deep Dive into the Principles of Aerothermodynamics

Author(s): Ching Hua

 In the realm of aerospace engineering, the principles of aerothermodynamics form the bedrock upon which our exploration of the skies is built. This article takes a deep dive into the fascinating world of aerothermodynamics, where the interaction between high-speed flight and intense thermal environments defines the challenges and innovations that shape the design of aircraft and spacecraft. From the physics of supersonic travel to the intricacies of thermal protection systems, we embark on a flight through fire to unravel the principles that govern the dynamic and demanding field of aerothermodynamics.
