A method of forming a thermal protection system for high speed aircraft is described. The method includes mechanically working an uncured ablator material into a first surface of a felt layer such that the ablator material penetrates a distance into a thickness of the felt layer thereby forming an region that has a mixture of felt and ablator material, adding additional uncured ablator material to the worked ablator material, and curing the combined ablator material.
