Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a short account of some problems that arise in the practical achievement of hypersonic flight, and it reviews some possible solutions. It is in no way a complete account, but it presents, among other things; (a) some well established methodology, which was produced too late to influence hypersonic design during the mid 1960s, and is now in some danger of being left in the archives; and (b) some revised proposals on how the essential needs of component design and vehicle integration can be realistically achieved.
