Does anyone know if the internal areas of the wings are kept at a slight positive pressure relative to the outside? I'm thinking that it would help retard any heat flow assuming small cracks or holes are present in the TPS. If not, the time delay for the internal pressure to equalize to the outside may help the heat transfer/plasma flow and erode small holes into larger ones.
