Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle for supersonic or hypersonic flight comprises a thermal rocket engine (1b) with a nozzle (2) and an active cooling system (8). The active cooling system cools a heat shield (6, 7). A working fluid absorbs heat inside the active cooling system and the heated working fluid expands through the nozzle to create thrust. Such a vehicle is suitable to fly a multi-skip trajectory, a boost-glide trajectory, a trajectory with a cruise phase or a re-entry into an atmosphere, for example.
