In the present work a preliminary performance study regarding a small hypersonic airplane named HyPlane is presented. It is designed for point-to-point medium range hypersonic trip, within the "urgent business travel" market segment. The vehicle is also consistent with long duration suborbital space tourism missions, in the frame of the Space Renaissance (SR) Italia Space Tourism Program. The design of such a hypersonic airplane is based on the concept of integrating available technologies developed for aeronautical and space atmospheric re-entry systems.
