Abstract

Hypersonic aircraft are flight vehicles which operate at a Mach number higher than 5, including hypersonic cruise aircraft, hypersonic cruise missiles, and reusable orbital aerospace planes. Since these hypersonic vehicles have revolutionary applications in commercial aviation, national security, and space exploration, great effort has been dedicated to their development since the 1950s (Curran in J Propul Power 17:1138–1148, 2001).
