Especially, ALBATROS is planning to develop technologies and methodologies for materials &amp; structures, planning-guidance-optimization of trajectories, aerothermodynamics, MDAO assisted design and to apply them to an optimized preliminary design. This first paper related to ALBATROS is reviewing some past long range boost-glide concepts (Silbervogel, Bell BOMI, Bell BRASS, Bell ROBO, McDonnell-Douglas Rheinberry, X-41 CAV, FOBS<br>systems), describing the possible missions (global conventional strike, global ISR, global payload release) and their flight profiles with a special focus on their technological challenges, and finally presenting some technological orientations (waverider typology, materials &amp; structures based on ceramics and additive manufacturing, schematic arrangement of internal equipment) in the perspective of the first conceptual design of the glider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/HISST2025_140_paper.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Jean-Yves ANDRO, Florent LE BARILLIER<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: HiSST-2025-140<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,3362,3361],"tags":[3633,3634,440,3635],"class_list":["post-22900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-high-speed-missions-and-vehicles-1-hisst-2025","category-1-hisst-2025","tag-concept","tag-glide","tag-hypersonic","tag-operations","category-993","category-3362","category-3361","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22900"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22900\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22902,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22900\/revisions\/22902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
