Abstract: A dream for
many scientists,
engineers and sci-fi
enthusiasts is of an aerospace
vehicle that can
take off from an airport,
fly through the atmosphere
and travel to the
other side of the earth
at hypersonic speeds,
and then return through
the atmosphere to the
same or another airport.
Thanks to programs
like DARPA’s Falcon
Hypersonic Technology
Vehicle 2 program
(Figure 1), the dream is
taking form.

UHTC–carbon fibre composites: Preparation, oxyacetylene torch testing and characterisation
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon fiber-UHTC powder composites have been prepared via a slurry impregnation and pyrolysis route, and their high-temperature oxidation resistance has been compared with that of a C-C benchmark composite.

Ablation-resistant carbide Zr0.8Ti0.2C0.74B0.26 for oxidizing environments up to 3,000 °C.
Yi Zeng,Dini Wang,Xiang Xiong,Xun Zhang,Philip J. Withers,Wei Sun,Matthew R. Smith,Mingwen Bai,Ping Xiao +8 more
TL;DR: The design and fabricate of a carbide coating that displays superior ablation resistance at temperatures from 2,000–3,000 °C, compared to existing ultra-high temperature ceramics, which results in much slower loss of protective oxide layers formed during ablation than other ceramic systems, leading to the superior ablator resistance.

Oxidation-based materials selection for 2000°C + hypersonic aerosurfaces: Theoretical considerations and historical experience
TL;DR: In this article, a compositional approach was proposed to improve the oxidation resistance of ZrB2-SiC and other non-oxide materials to at least 1600°C by compositional modifications which promote immiscibility in the glass component of the scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined three UHTC materials under conditions more representative of a propulsion environment, i.e., higher oxygen partial pressure and total pressure, and showed that these materials offer a good combination of properties that make them candidates for airframe leading edges on sharp-bodied reentry vehicles.
