It would be a single-use hypersonic vehicle.

Designs using compression lift, waveriders, remain an interesting possibility for hypersonic vehicle designs, although only testbed models have been flown.

Firstly, plasma could be much easier generated for hypersonic vehicle at high attitude with quite low atmospheric pressure and high surface temperature.

His doctoral thesis developed a new approach for robust intelligent flight control of hypersonic vehicles.

Because of these problems, waveriders have not found favor with practical aerodynamic designers, despite the fact that they might make long-distance hypersonic vehicles efficient enough to carry air freight.
