The study of a lifting air breathing boost for satellite launch
The effect on performance of variations in power plant, aircraft, and rocket parameters was calculated for a lifting air breathing boost system for launching satellites. A limited variation in aircraft flight plan was considered also. In addition, comparisons were made between the air breathing boos...
