  navy-sponsored experimental investigation of the location of
boundary-layer transition on sharp-nosed cones having 10 total
angles .  the ambient temperature in a portion of the aeroballistics
range is varied so as to obtain different adiabatic recovery temperatures
at a constant nominal mach number of 3.1 .  the location
of transition is expressed as a transition reynolds number, and
results are presented graphically as a function of the ratio between
the wall temperature and the adiabatic recovery temperature .
