B-52 As Hypersonic & Parasite Launch Platform?

[rje71]

I am considering a modeing project of a B-52 as launch platform for hypersonic strike or parasite aircraft in the early to mid 70's. I have seen a few 3 view drawings ( kind of small pics though ) of a G and or H buff carrying a hypersonic vehice and was woondering if there was any other info or concept stuff out there regarding this ???

This is not exactly 1970's but I think this might be up your ally.

You weren't specific as to which project.
So X-24C was in the 1970's.
One conceptual approach to B-52 hookup is attached.
Drawings like these are available in many places.

in begin of 1970s the B-52 were used to launch hypersonic D-21B drones (Mach 3.35 max)

Do you want to use this a global strike / reconnaissance plane ?
then max weight of parasite aircraft is limited to 31000 kg or 68343 lb
i advise a small rocket engine to boost and Marquardt ramjet for cruise speed,

Well he did say Hypersonic strike so he might be looking for something along the lines of Lockheed's HGV but that's early '80s and I think he wants something with a cruise/sustainer motor like a ramjet. Eh, I tried.
