  Waverider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A waverider is a hypersonic aircraft design that improves its supersonic lift-to-drag ratio by producing a lifting surface built out of the shock waves being generated by its own flight, a technique known as compression lift.
The waverider concept was first developed by Terence Nonweiler of the Queen's University of Belfast, and first described in print in 1951 as a re-entry vehicle.
During this period at least one waverider was tested at the Woomera Rocket Range, mounted on the nose of an air-launched Blue Steel missile, and a number of airframes were tested in the wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center.

 Waverider
A waverider is a type of supersonic aircraft design that improves its supersonic lift-to-drag ratio[?] by "surfing" on its own shockwave.
To date no aircraft has been based on the waverider design with the possible exception of the XB-70 Valkyrie, possible because it is debatable how much lift the aircraft gained from compression lift.
The waverider remains a well-studied design for high-speed aircraft in the Mach 5 and higher hypersonic regime.

 WaveRider
Waveriders are candidate shapes for various types of hypersonic aircraft designs.
A waverider is a shape designed from a known supersonic or hypersonic flow field, such as flow past a right circular cone.
The waverider is designed such that the bow shock is attached along the outer leading edge at the design point.

The programme was cancelled by the Macmillan government, but work on Waverider continued at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough - mainly with a view to establishing Waverider's potential as a Mach 6 airliner.
During this period (1960 - 65) at least one Waverider was tested at the Woomera Rocket Range, mounted on the nose of an air-launched Blue Steel missile.
In this and in later meetings, he dismissed arguments that more sophisticated systems than wings would in time become available: wherever you have a planet with an atmosphere, a wing, which makes use of the properties of that atmosphere, is more elegant than something which wastes energy staying aloft by other means.

These produce a scalloped contour for the Waverider underside, and as a family are becoming known as lips.
Gordon and several other speakers had doubts about this approach, pointing out that in real life the shockwave would not be generated by the leading edge of the wing and might well not have a conical shape.
But Waverider shapes might be used, and there were people (in civilian clothes) casually saying to us things like, of course, we've cracked the control surface problem you're working on, but we cant tell you about it.

Whatever type of vehicle it is, a hypersonic aircraft will likely be a waverider.
With its inherent aerodynamic advantages, due to compression lift and ease of propulsion integration to improve engine thrust, the waverider offers perhaps the most efficient means of travel at speeds of Mach 5 or more.
Regardless, much additional work needs to be done to build a database of actual flight-test data so that hypersonic vehicles can be designed and manufactured.
