I’d love to get feedback from experienced engineers on the viability of this thermal-layering approach and any advice on the next steps for a student looking to break into high-speed propulsion and materials science.
My goal was to solve the extreme thermal and structural trade-offs of Mach 5+ flight by using a 'systems-first' approach. The design features a lightweight carbon fiber internal skeleton for high strength-to-weight, protected by a heat-resistant titanium exoskeleton skin. To manage the massive...
