This report discusses and presents a preliminary design for a manned hypersonic reconnaissance vehicle which does not require airborne refueling. This vehicle will have a range of 12000 nautical miles and will cruise at a speed of Mach 4 and an altitude of 80000 feet. The design process utilized computer programs such as HASA and MAXWARP. An elementary economic analysis is presented. Finally, areas which deserve further study are discussed.
