The design of hypersonic vehicles and their propulsion systems is complex, which requires knowledge of several engineering disciplines to guide the decisions of their designers. This work presents a multidisciplinary optimization involving aerodynamic efficiency (lift/drag ratio or L/D), longitudinal stability (static margin) and volume in the conceptual design of a hypersonic vehicle of the WAVERIDER class with different horizontal and vertical stabilizers (tail empennage) and fin shapes (trapezoidal and bent ones). Preliminary optimized solutions have shown that WAVERIDER vehicles with conventional tail empennage featuring three bent fins are preferable in terms of aerodynamic performance and flight control feseability under volume restrictions.
