DRUG DEVELOPMENT FOR SECONDARY INFECTIONS OF AIDS

Not Available Missile and other aerospace vehicles are being developed to perform increasingly more demanding missions in terms of speed and accuracy. As the speed of these systems increase, traditional means of vehicle control and thermal protection are reaching their effective limits. New methods of control and thermal protection are required for these hypervelocity vehicles. It is proposed to take advantage of the physical characteristics of the hypervelocity flowfields by manipulating the plasma that forms behind the hypersonic shock of real gases. A magnetic field will be generated by the vehicle, which will enable direct control of the ions in the dissociated gases. Magnetohydrodynamic control of the ions will supplement the vehicle's aerodynamics, allowing an alternative and possibly more efficient control mechanism. At the same time, the ability to influence the motion of the hot gases without physically contacting the surface of the vehicle will enable alternatives to traditional thermal protection systems.
