advanced materials which can withstand ultra high temperatures and heat fluxes enabling
high-speed flight above Mach 3. At these high speeds, classical materials used for airframes
and propulsion units are not longer feasible and need to be replaced by hightemperature,
lightweight materials, with active cooling of some parts. First, the overall design for high-
speed transports are revisited with Mach 3 and Mach 6 cruising options, taking into account …
