| 摘要 | A passive non-ablating thermally protective structure body is disclosed. An improved-reliability heat pipe edge comprises a non-porous material formed into a wedge-shaped chamber, and a porous layer. The porous layer extends from interior surfaces of the non-porous material to provide capillary wicking. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A passive non-ablating thermally protective structure body comprising: an improved-reliability heat pipe edge comprising: a non-porous material formed into a wedge-shaped chamber comprising an end cap opposite a leading edge of the wedge-shaped chamber; anda porous layer extending from interior surfaces of the non-porous material to provide capillary wicking formed as a single object with the wedge-shaped chamber; and a fail-safe passive edge located behind and coupled to the end cap, and coupled to the improved-reliability heat pipe edge by at least one attachment fastener. | ||
