Abstract: | The domain of the parameters in which the aerodynamic drag of hypersonic pyramidal bodies, whose wave component is calculated within the framework of conical flows with the boundary layer displacement thickness taken into account, agrees satisfactorily with the experimental data is found. The calculation model is also applicable in the region of minimum aerodynamic drag of star-shaped bodies in the class of conical bodies equivalent in length and mid-sectional area.Moscow.
