A panel constructed to be representative of an aerospace vehicle fuselage in material type, weight, thickness and support sits on a table in the von Kármán Gas Dynamics Facility at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., May 2, 2023. The panel was subjected to hypersonic airflows to observe and measure the effects of the heating which occurs under those conditions. The dot pattern is specifically designed to enable cameras to measure deformation in the panel. Researchers were also able to visibly observe the deformation occurring, including a “snap-through” moment when a section went from concave to convex. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jill Pickett)
