Armstrong Whitworth Waverider

---

Status: Study 1960.

To provide symmetric aerodynamics during ascent, two waverider shapes would have been mounted bottom-to-bottom. The "image" waverider shape would contain extra propellant for the manned spacecraft. The group leaders of this project were H R Watson of Armstrong Whitworth, and Dr W F Hilton of Hawker Siddeley. The spacecraft design was by T R F Nonweiler, who worked as a consultant to the project.
