The SHarp Edge Flight EXperiment (SHEFEX) is a DLR program to investigate aerodynamic behaviour and thermal protection problems of re-entry vehicles at hypersonic velocities, using unconventional shapes comprising multi-facetted surfaces with sharp edges. SHEFEX 1 was launched on a parabolic traject...
