The results of a study concerning a High-Speed Civilian Transport Aircraft are discussed. An evaluation of the viability of four configurations is presented. One design considered is the Waverider configuration. The Waverider creates lift at high speeds through the use of shock waves. This shocklift when combined with conventionally created lift provides high lift/drag values at higher speeds than conventional configurations. The Waverider cruises at Mach 5.5, has a range of 6,500 nautical miles, and seats 250 passengers. The aircraft is operable from existing airfields and does not require any special traffic control considerations when operating in controlled airspace.
