Research abstract
Hypersonic aerial vehicles have tailored aerodynamic shapes with sharp leading edges to maximize performance. When a vehicle is travelling through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 or higher, it encounters intense friction with the surrounding air. The nose cone and the leading edges of the flight vehicle will experience extremely high temperatures from 3000°F to 5000°F. Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) have extremely high melting points and are often considered hypersonic structures. However, single phase UHTCs lack the proper mechanical and oxidation properties.
