(Boeing FASST pg 87):http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/cst/csat37.pdf<blockquote>Dr. Kevin Bowcutt and others at the Boeing Phantom Works in Huntington Beach, California, are collaborating with Air Force Space Command and NASA on a horizontal takeoff, two-stage-to-orbit waverider concept known as FASST (Flexible Aerospace System Solution for Transformation). The concept would operate from a standard runway with a waverider first stage using a hydrocarbon-fueled, turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system (based upon the NASA Glenn Research Center Revolutionary Turbine Accelerator (RTA) program) and operate to at least Mach 4 and 70,000 feet altitude. The second stage orbital vehicle is also a waverider design using a hydrogen-fueled rocket-based combined cycle engine transitioning to a pure rocket mode at Mach 12</blockquote></blockquote>
