The computational requirements for hypersonic flight performance estimates are discussed and a procedure for fulfilling these requirements is presented. In order to effectively use computational fluid dynamics in design, especially for estimating performance quantities, consideration should be given to the credibility of CFD, design sensitivities, test uncertainties, risk assessment, and consistency in determination. It is found that a design-specific computational technology developed with programmatic research can be used in the design of hypervelocity vehicles.
