Hypersonic transport system

A hypersonic transport system for transport of passengers in a commercial flight comprising:

• an aircraft which comprises a hypersonic lift-to-drag ratio greater than or equal to 2.5, wherein the aircraft comprises a secondary propulsion device and position sensors, and wherein the aircraft also comprises a variably shaped aerodynamic surface;
• a main propulsion device which is removably attached to the aircraft;
• and
• a control unit which is configured to monitor the aircraft and the main propulsion device so as to perform the following stages while keeping a positive load factor less than 1.5 G and more than 0.7 G:
• a take-off and climb stage until reaching, at the end of the latter, an altitude greater than or equal to 30 km and a speed greater than or equal to 3,000 m/s, the main propulsion device being separated from the aircraft at the end of the take-off and climb stage;
• a stage of cruising by bouncing off the earth's atmosphere during which the control unit monitors the secondary propulsion device to maintain the speed of the aircraft and maintain a predefined trajectory of the aircraft;
• a descent and landing stage during which the control unit monitors the modification of the shape of the variably shaped aerodynamic surface of the aircraft to perform a dissipative descent, the control unit then monitoring the secondary propulsion device to perform a rollover and an active slowing down of the aircraft after the dissipative descent.
