Explore: Conical Forebody

the forebody's boundary layer to the bump's sides; this bumped surface also performs flow compression at supersonic speeds by producing a conical shock

waverider designs that used different shockwave shapes, the simplest being the conical shock generated by a cone. In these cases, a waverider is designed to keep

radar. The forward fuselage cross section was more squared off with the forebody chines less pronounced and raised to the same waterline height as the leading

planform from swept trapezoidal to diamond-like delta and a reduction in forebody planform area. The team extensively used analytical and empirical methods

spaced away (i.e. mounted on a splitter plate) in order to bypass the forebody's turbulent boundary layer to mitigate flow distortion. Other supersonic

aerospike should look roughly like a lance, with a wide base and long tapering forebody. However, the "spike" portion can be cut off with only minor effects on

Von Kármán or Von Kármán ogive. An aerospike can be used to reduce the forebody pressure acting on supersonic aircraft. The aerospike creates a detached

standard length of the species is given as less than 12.5 cm. The head and forebody were relatively high. The head profile was convex and reminiscent of the

This can either be a complete sphere or a spherical section forebody with a converging conical afterbody. The aerodynamics of a sphere or spherical section
