内容記述 | Aero convective tests of several flexible thermal protection system (FTPS) concepts were conducted in the NASA Ames Research Center 20 MW arcjet aero heating wind tunnel. The concepts consisted of quilted insulation blankets with nextel AB312 felt insulation stitched between cover cloths with AB312 thread. The cover cloths were commercially available nextel AB312 and nicalon fabrics. The specimens were subjected to convective heat fluxes ranging from 7 to 35 Btu/per sq ft per sec at stagnation pressures of .005 to .02 atm. Specimens were tested both with and without transpiration cooling. Results indicated that both the nextel and nicalon fabrics offer the potential for higher temperature applications than current FTPS, and nicalon appears to be capable of withstanding temperatures well above 2500 degrees F with minimal degradation. |
