Aerodynamic heating is a critical design aspect for the development of reusable hypersonic transport and reentry vehicles. The reliability in terms of thermal resistance is one of the major driving factors with respect to the design margins, the mass balance and finally the total costs of a configuration. Potential designs of active cooling systems for critical regions such as the vehicle nose and leading edges are presented as well as preliminary approaches for their impact on the total mass. The visionary suborbital passenger transport concept SpaceLiner is taken as a reference vehicle for these studies. Covering the whole flight regime from subsonic to Mach numbers of more than 20, this vehicle creates high demands on the thermal protection system. Part of the work was performed within the DLR research project THERMAS.
