research for the last three The committee was briefed by all major government and industrial participants in hypersonic research and technology development, including the relevant units of the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories, the NASP Joint Program Office, and NASA Langley Research Center. Individual members of the committee had additional contacts during this period.

engine the technology of integrating such engines with the airframe, including the aerodynamics and control of the resulting "flying engines" the structural concepts and hightemperature low-density materials required to achieve the desired weight fractions guidance and control of such large, flexible, complex vehicles as result from the requirement to operate Also in keeping with its charge, the committee has examined the technology needs for the experimental hypersonic vehicle, the X-30, which is the focal point for the NASP program. We believe the design of the X-30 requires sufficient understanding of the critical technologies to enable the design of a reusable vehicle (or vehicles)

In connection with the NASP program, we have therefore asked how existing facilities can best be used, and what component testing is feasible on the time scale of the NASP program. In the context of long term operational uses of hypersonic vehicles, the issue of test facilities must be reexamined.
