Notes:
Using a special flyer-inclined target, the dynamic characters of a flyer were investigated experimentally for the first time. On the basis of the observation of the shock luminescent signal from the rear surface of a target impacted continuously by the flyer, it appears that the flyer has a steady flying velocity of ∼30.3 km/s after flying a distance longer than ∼30 μm at irradiance of ∼0.8×1014 W/cm2. An experiment on the effect of increasing pressure with the flyer technique was also carried out, and showed that the shock pressure obtained with a flyer was six times more than that without a flyer. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
