A 3D parabolized Navier-Stokes (PNS) technique is examined in terms of applications to equilibrium-air and perfect-gas hypersonic flows at different Mach numbers and angles of attack. The method renders sublayer approximation unnecessary, and treats axis-normal coupling effects first followed by a shock solution and a corrector step. Predictions of hypersonic flowfields over several blunt conical configurations are found to agree with established wind-tunnel and flight data, although those for the Dhawan-Narasimha (1958) transition model vary from the experimental data. The PNS technique is also applied to predictions of wall-pressure distributions and force and moment data, and the results agree with experimental values. The PNS method allows the calculation of a wide variety of configurations with only a slight increase over traditional computing times.
