Performance Analysis of Skip-Glide Trajectories for Hypersonic Waveriders in Planetary Exploration

A performance analysis for skip and glide is being studied to investigate the potential usage of waverider technology for interplanetary explorations. While the skip and glide equations themselves were first explored by Eggers, this thesis will implement his equations, but then add waverider technol...
