  • Injection-cooled hypersonic leading edge construction and method
    Patent number: 5299762
    Abstract: A leading edge construction for reducing drag on an airfoil, the construction includes a relatively thin solid plate extending forwardly from the air foil, the plate having an exposed top surface and an exposed bottom surface, and a relatively sharply radiused forward edge forming the leading edge of the air foil. The construction further includes slots adjacent to the top and bottom surfaces of the plates for injecting coolant over the top and bottom surfaces of the plate, toward the leading edge, to provide active cooling of the plate for removing stagnant heat lead.
