The aircraft, designed for long-term hypersonic flight, should have possibly small blunting of the leading edges. This is necessary to reduce the external resistance of the apparatus, as well as internal losses of the total pressure in the air intake. Reducing the blunting radius of the leading edges is prevented by overheating of the structure due to aerodynamic heating. One promising method for thermal protection of the leading edges with a small blunting radius is the blowing of the cooling gas through a gap located on the critical line of blunt wedge. In the following work several applications of this method are presented.
