Current technologies for waverider aircraft

Abstract

'Waverider' hypersonic vehicle configuration-related technologies are presently discussed for both the Mach 4-7 and Mach 8-12 speed regimes. These technologies encompass engine cycle selection, propulsion system integration, thermal management, structural design, materials selection, and stability/control. The integration of the propulsion system may require novel techniques for efficient blending of inlet and nozzle flows with forebody and afterbody contours.
