The design requirements of airbreathing propulsion for space transport application strongly depend on the particular mission demands and differ markedly from those of conventional airbreathing propulsion systems. Especially the low thrust densities and high thermal loads at high Mach numbers demands a systematic approach to design and selection of possible propulsion concepts. Main problems of propulsion system concepts and of their development as well as to present attempts for possible solutions are discussed.
