An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using liquid metal heat pipe, transpiration and film cooling techniques to cool aerospace vehicle leading edge structures exposed to severe, transient hypersonic flight aerodynamic heating environments. A finite difference, numerical cooling model was developed and applied to an aerospaceplane wing leading edge section and to a scramjet inlet section. It was demonstrated that these cooling techniques are feasible.
