Abstract Hypersonic flight is becoming a common development goal of aeronautical and astronautical technology, thus mandating the requirement that hypersonic vehicle have good aerodynamic performance over a wide-speed range. Considering that a waverider is regarded as one of the most promising designs for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles, various design methods of the wide-speed-range hypersonic vehicle based on the design approach of waveriders have been proposed. This paper reviews and classifies wide-speed-range waverider design methodologies developed up until 2019, including the “combined” wide-speed range waverider, the variable Mach number waverider, the vortex lift waverider, the dual/multistage waverider, the morphing waverider, and some other wide-speed-range waverider designs. The current status of the waverider technology is summarized and future development ideas and trends are discussed.

宽速范围乘波器构型研究综述

摘要 高超声速飞行正成为航空航天技术的共同发展目标，这就要求高超声速飞行器在较宽的速度范围内具有良好的气动性能。考虑到乘波器被认为是吸气式高超声速飞行器最有前途的设计之一，基于乘波器的设计方法提出了各种宽速高超声速飞行器的设计方法。本文回顾并分类了截至 2019 年发展起来的宽速乘波器设计方法，包括“组合式”宽速乘波器、可变马赫数乘波器、涡升乘波器、双/多级乘波器、变形乘波器、以及其他一些宽速度范围的乘波器设计。
