                         to 12. The simulations were performed by using a Direct Simulation 
                         Monte Carlo Method. The study focuses the attention of designers 
                         of hypersonic configurations on the fundamental parameter of 
                         bluntness which can have an impact on even initial design. Some 
                         significant differences between sharp and blunt leading edges were 
                         noted on the heat transfer coefficient, total drag and on the 
                         shock standoff distance. Interesting features observed in the 
                         surface fluxes showed that small leading edge thickness compared 
                         to the freestream mean free path still has important effects on 
                         high Mach number leading edge flows.",
