Typical challenges of supersonic flight include wave drag, acoustic signature, and aerodynamic heating due to the formation shock waves ahead vehicle. Efforts in form sleek designs, better propulsion systems, implementation passive active techniques are generally adopted achieve a weaker system. Shock reduction can improve range, reduce fuel consumption, provide thermal protection forebody region. This paper briefly reviews techniques, including passive, active, hybrid flow control. Airfoil...

The wavelength diffraction limit, described by the Rayleigh criterion, can be overcome if short radiations are employed, thus it is possible to resolve smaller features use of radiation in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectral ranges. In particular way, from "water window" range, which extends between K-absorption edges carbon oxygen (280÷540 eV), could used order obtain high-contrast biological imaging. Laser-plasma double stream gas puff target source suitable for SXR...
