This paper presents an experimental boundary layer transition investigation of the windward side of a generic hypersonic forebody performed in April 2015 in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach 6 quiet tunnel facility at Purdue university (BAM6QT). At 0 and 4 degrees of angle of attack, Reu=11x10 6 /m, flow was fully laminar in quiet conditions. Under noisy conditions, an early transition front (Reθ~200) was observed, even when dividing the unit freestream Reynolds number by 6. In quiet conditions, several diamond-shaped roughness trips were found to efficiently trip the laminar boundary layer when Rekk > 1000. Temperature-Sensitive Paint (TSP) enabled a global measurement of the heat flux distribution and detection of the transition front. PCB sensors confirmed the state of the boundary layer : laminar, turbulent or transitional. Transition results with a single continuously blowing sonic air jet was also collected at various pressure ratios, giving the laminar to turbulent threshold.
