This investigation finds a solution for reducing the drag and heating. Using ANSYS fluent, designed an aero spike, which has flow around a blunt body at highpersonic Mach number 6 with angle of attack zero. It is analyses for L/D ratio of 1.5 and 2. The front of the body is replaced by an aero spike which has weak oblique shocks and well-built detached shock. This develops a circular region between shock and blunt body. This works as a streamlined profile to reduce heat as well as drag.
