Popis: The drag and heat transfer are very important parameters to be taken into account in the design of hypersonic vehicles. Under certain conditions, spikes can substantially reduce the drag of axisymmetric blunt bodies at supersonic and hypersonic speeds with the deliberate use of flow separation. This happens mainly due to the induced formation of a conical shock in opposition to a normal one.
