Prospects for future hypersonic air-breathing vehicles

An overview of the technical progress achieved in key areas of hypersonic airbreathing vehicle development is presented. The context for hypersonic applications is discussed with emphasis placed on technology issues and requirements, particularly for propulsion and technology integration. Attention is given to CFD technology which allows the consideration of configurations and extrapolations to flight conditions that cannot be simulated on the ground.

Prospects for future hypersonic air-breathing vehicles

The age of hypersonics is (almost) here. This is evident from the amount of activity in the United States, Europe, the USSR and Japan; this activity is a reflection of technical progress in key areas which will enable new vehicle systems, as well as renewed interest in the utilization of these systems. The current situation, at least in the United States, is the product of an interesting history which is briefly reviewed here. The context for hypersonic applications is discussed, but the emphasis is on hypersonic technology issues and needs, particularly for propulsion and technology integration. The paper concludes with prospects for accomplishing the objective of air-breathing hypersonic vehicle systems.

International Hypersonic Waverider Symposium, 1st, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, Oct. 17-19, 1990, Proceedings

The papers presented in this volume provide an overview of current theoretical and experimental research in the field of hypersonic waveriders. In particular, attention is given to efficient waveriders from known axisymmetric flow fields, hypersonic waverider design from given shock waves, limitations of waveriders, and aerodynamic stability theory of hypersonic waveriders. The discussion also covers momentum analysis of waverider flow fields, tethered aerothermodynamic research for hypersonic waveriders, simulation of hypersonic waveriders, and an idealized tip-to-tail waverider model.
