Abstract

Humans longing to fly higher and quicker have prompted the improvement of hypersonic vehicles. Typically, hypersonic streams are described by high temperature fields and a thin layer of shock close to the object wall or the body surface. To ease the reduction of thermal loads, a blunt nose is forced in a hypersonic vehicle which is more imperative. In any case, increase in the wave drag is one of the quick outcomes of a constrained bluntness. Consequently, investigation in the hypersonic field is constantly fixated on the wave drag decrease. The flow features around the blunt body get changed because of the attachment of spike in front of the vehicle. This chapter aims to give a detailed review of a hypersonic vehicle that involves an aerospike design in front of the blunt body, which tends to reduce the drag at the forebody. Views of various researchers are investigated, and efforts are taken to summarize the reported results on how the drag has been reduced using aerospike technique.
