Increasing altitude causes deterioration of important flight characteristics; aerodynamic damping suffers as ratio of true to indicated air speed increases; adequate static stability becomes more difficult under adverse influence of high supersonic speed and high angle of attack; all of these problems are amenable to solution; but they will not be forthcoming unless designers are prepared to accept new configurations.
