Summary

This paper surveys the available material and summarizes what is known to date about boundary-layer transition at supersonic speeds. Variables studied include Mach number, Reynolds number, pressure gradients, heat transfer, surface roughness, and angle of attack. The discussion is limited to bodies of revolution because similar reliable data for wings is lacking.
