Rain Erosion Tests on Aircraft Surfaces at Supersonic Speeds

Abstract

AMONG new problems faced by design engineers of supersonic aircraft and missiles is the destructive effect of rain. At transonic and supersonic speeds, rain erosion of aircraft materials may prove to be a limiting factor in all‐weather flying conditions.
