Creating a viable, 'aerospaceplane' airbreathing SSTO vehicle will require sophisticated configuration synthesis and a synergistic integration of advanced technologies across the spectrum of disciplines. In design exercises conducted to date, reductions in the fuel weight-fraction requirement can result from improvements in aerodynamics/controls, enhanced propulsion efficiencies, and trajectory optimization. Additional improvements in fuel-weight fraction can result from improvements in structural design, heat-management techniques, and materials properties.
