Consideration has been given to a number of aspects of 
mathematical modeling of a high-velocity flight in the earth's atmosphere 
in a wide range of variation of the determining parameters. Super- 
and hypersonic gas flow past flying vehicles has been investigated 
based on computer-aided calculations with allowance for its actual 
properties. Data on the distribution of gasdynamic parameters in the 
flow field, including thermal and force loads on the surface, have 
been obtained and analyzed. The issues of applying today's information 
technologies to archiving scientific knowledge obtained in electronic 
databases of a specialized Internet center and their dissemination 
via the Global Network have been discussed.
