I. Introduction n the high-speed aircraft design community, the waveriders are well accepted
as high performance configurations. Waverider is a hypersonic aircraft design which …

I. Introduction n the hypersonic community, it has been extensively accepted that the
waverider design has a good aerodynamic performance such as L/D ratio. The idea …

HYPERSONIC waveriders are promising shapes for the forebodies of engine-integrated
hypersonic vehicles. These configurations can form the basis of airframes with very high lift …

A waverider is any supersonic or hypersonic lifting body that is characterized by an attached,
or nearly attached, bow shock wave along its leading edge. A waverider can possess high …

AIRFRAME–propulsion integration is indispensable for hypersonic airbreathing vehicles to
reduce drag and improve propulsion efficiency [1], with the aircraft forebody usually acting …

This paper proposes an inward-turning-inlet–forebody integration methodology based on
the dual-waverider concept. For the design concept and the designed flight conditions, both …

Intensive studies have been carried out on generations of waverider geometry and
hypersonic inlet geometry. However, integration efforts of waverider and related air-intake …

WITH the demand for reliable, cost effective launch services steadily increasing, the
conceptual design of next generation launch vehicles is underway. The single-stage-to-orbit …

Waveriders have a high lift-to-drag ratio in hypersonic states, while the flexibility of design
methods must still be improved because of some deficiencies such as unsatisfactory off …

Waverider is expected to break the lift-to-drag ratio constraint in the hypersonic flight
condition and it is commonly been studied as the forebody of the cruise vehicle. In this …
