The need for significant reduction in launch cost favors the consideration of reusable space transportation systems which are assisted by aerodynamic lift. The thermomechanical and thermochemical environments and the basic design requirements of two airbreathing vehicle classes are put in relation to vehicles like Shuttle and Hermes. Similarities as well as essential differences between the various vehicles are highlighted. State of the art thermal protection concepts and materials are analyzed with respect to winged launcher concepts. Future development trends for design and materials with potential application are identified. The need for improved thermostructural analysis and optimization techniques is outlined.
