Abstract
Means in most common use for reliable protection of aircraft surfaces against thermal loads are reviewed. Development of such means involves detailed consideration of mass-transfer processes on streamlined surfaces. Passive and active methods for thermal protection of surfaces are discussed, based on the use of ablating heat-shielding coatings. The review classifies studies, including those published recently, that confirm high efficiency and great potential of active heat-shielding systems for aircraft using forced blowing of coolants into boundary layer.
