The need for efficient access to space has created interest in airbreathing propulsion as a means of achieving that goal. The NASP program explored a single-stage-to-orbit approach which could require scramjet airbreathing propulsion out to Mach 16 to 20. Recent interest in global access could require hypersonic cruise engines operating efficiently in the Mach 10 to 12 speed range. A common requirement of both these types of propulsion systems is that they would have to be fully integrated with the aero configuration so that the forebody becomes a part of the external compression inlet and the nozzle expansion is completed on the vehicle aftbody.
