The paper describes the first assessment study of a waverider-derived Mach 5 aircraft design using fuselage integrated-underslung over/under turboramjets with endothermic fuel. The study is based on a tanker-to-tanker mission, which begins at Mach 0.8 and 30,000 feet, with the vehicle accelerating to Mach 12 at constant altitude and then to Mach 5 while climbing to about 90,000 feet. The paper describes the vehicle, the aerodynamic analysis, and the propulsion system and its installed performance, structure design, and analysis. The mission simulation was run using the CSOTAV code developed by the NASA Langley Research Center.
