@ABSTRACT = Direct and inverse problems of heat exchange in a supersonic 
spatial flow past the front part of an aircraft in the form of a spherically 
blunted nose cone have been solved numerically. The prospects of using 
high-heat-conductivity materials and the blowing of the gas-coolant 
for lowering the temperature on the surface of an aerodynamic body 
have been shown. A comparison of the solutions of the direct and inverse 
problems in one-, two-, and three-dimensional formulations for various 
materials of the sheath has been made. The error in recovering the 
heat flow by the thin-walled method has been estimated.
