Aerodynamic and Inlet Flow Characteristics of Several Hypersonic Airbreathing Missile Concepts

Journal of Aircraft
Volume 18, Issue 4
July 1981

This shape was the result of a parametric study aimed at
simultaneously achieving high aerodynamic performance
(L/D<<4.0), good volumetric efficiency (K2/5/<<0.23) and
stealth in a vehicle designed for long-range cruise at Mach 6.
