The desire to facilitate the conceptual and preliminary design of hypersonic cruise vehicles has created the need for simple, fast, versatile, and trusted aerodynamic analysis tools. ...Independence, superposition, and scaling properties of the hypersonic engineering method afford an expansive design space without traditional compounding penalties. ...This work postulates the procedure, details the execution, and exposes the results of generating uncompromised aerodynamic metamodels for hypersonic cruise vehicle design.
