Work on the so-called Ramjet Technology Demonstration Program (RTDP) should enable the Dutch industry and the research institutes to obtain the expertise to participate in the development, manufacture and testing of a future European hypersonic space launch vehicle. The background of such a vehicle is reviewed and illustrated by the Saenger space transportation system which is currently studied in Germany. A possible role for the Dutch industry is argued and it is indicated how the RTDP should bring it to a position to take responsibility for such a role.
