Abstract | Patches of permanent-change thermal paint were flown on DSTO's HIFiRE-0 hypersonic test vehicle. HIFiRE-0 was used as an engineering development and risk reduction flight for the fundamental science payload, HIFiRE 1 and subsequent flights in the HIFiRE series. Permanent-change thermal paint was applied to sections of the stainless steel nose cone, both externally and internally and to the aluminium instrumentation can. These paints were applied as an initial test of their suitability to measure the distribution of heating for a highly transient flight profile. After post-flight recovery of the payload, regions of the applied thermal paint were still clearly visible and had undergone a noticeable colour change due to inflight heating. Transient CFD simulations of the ascent and descent of the vehicle through the atmosphere, which incorporated conjugate heat transfer provided reasonable predicts of the observed paint colour change in the region investigated. © 2011 by Andrew J.
