The effects of equilibrium- and nonequilihrium-air chemical reactions on the linear stability of a Mach 25, 10-deg half-angle sharp-cone shock layer are investigated. First, the basic state is computed using the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations with a shock-fitting scheme. This eliminates spurious numerical oscillations that could adversely affect the stability analysis. Spatial stability analyses are then described for three different approximations of the physics: perfect gas, air in local chemical equilibrium, and air in chemical nonequilibrium. It is shown in both the equilibrium- and nonequilibrium-air calculations that the second mode of Mack is shifted to lower frequencies
