Distribution of observables in hypersonic wakes and trails is result of complex interaction of body shape, chemical kinetics, and onset of laminar-turbulent transition; paper discusses progress and problems in these 3 areas with emphasis on scaling laws; in "near-wake" growth of turbulent core and cooling rate depend strongly on body shape; analysis of data on laminar-turbulent transition in hypersonic wakes; decay of electron density in hypersonic nonequilibrium turbulent wakes; main problems for future research.
