																					 Abstract 
								As
a rule, aerodynamic studies at hypersonic flow velocities are carried out
in short-duration wind-tunnel facilities. For such facilities, optical
diagnostic methods are most preferable. In the present study, we give for the first time
a comparison of two methods for determining the end of laminar-turbulent
transition: from the distribution of heat fluxes and from schlieren
visualization data for the boundary-layer flow. Parametric data on
the position of the tran-sition are obtained. These data can be used
in the future as reference ones while calibrating semi-empirical
calculation models for the transition.
