Abstract The introduction of ballistic missiles as a major element of a modern military strategic offense has abruptly arrested the systematic development of advanced air transportation systems which have been traditionally supported in the initial stages on the basis of military requirements. However, recently the decision to develop supersonic commercial transports has revived the interest of the technical world in the possibility of future hypersonic airplanes and, therefore, of hypersonic engines. At the same time, the plans for a large-scale space exploration, which rely strongly on the capability of developing economically feasible launching systems, have recently generated much interest in the concept of recoverable boosters. It is evident that any recoverable booster will, of necessity, have somewhat larger structural weight than disposable boosters; therefore, the development of such boosters is closely related to the development of supersonic propulsion systems more efficient than those in use today.
