A J Eggers, Jr, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, explains the design of simple, efficient rocket engine vehicles for use at high speeds and long ranges. He explains the importance of lower final velocity and lower coolant carried by the vehicle as being necessary to reduce the initial mass of the vehicle, thus saving weight. He discusses ballistic trajectory, skip glide trajectory and glide trajectory as being most suitable for use with hypervelocity vehicles. He explores the concept of man-carrying space vehicles.
