所谓乘波构型 (Waverider)，是指一种外形是流线形， 其所有的前缘都具有附体 激波 的超音速或高超音速的飞行器。通俗的讲，乘波构型飞行器飞行时其前缘平面与激波的上表面重合，就像骑在激波的波面上，依靠激波的压力产生升力，所以叫乘波构型(Waverider)。

X-51乘波者 （英語： X-51 WaveRider）是 美國 波音 研發的一種 無人 極音速 試驗機，最高速度可達音速5.1倍，是美國為數不少的 超音速燃烧冲压发动机 試驗機之一。 首架乘波者在2010年5月26日完成了 音速 5倍的試驗，最後一次試驗在2013年5月1日，歷次試驗總共四次。 X-51之所以獲名「乘波」（WaveRider）是因為它能靠著「駕馭」所生產 衝擊波 來形成「壓縮升力」。 一架X-51A乘波者試驗機裝備於 B-52同溫層堡壘轟炸機 上準備進行試射。

Zeta Gundam 前期型的主要设计思路是利用Waverider模式下，乘波体外形高速低阻分散热量的优势来高速突入大气圈，得益于WR原理的优势，机体在突破电离层之后仍然可以保持5-7马赫的高速飞行。 虽然Waverider模式下吸取了FXA-00的经验,已经将空气动力学外形设计的可以适应大气圈内一般的巡航飞行要求，但出于大气圈内航空战斗力的要求，卡拉巴提出需要更稳定的大气圈内飞行用改型。 应卡拉巴的要求，开发了FXA-01K飞行装甲，代号是“Wave Shooter”，可见翼面 …

Nov 1, 2017 · A waverider is any supersonic or hypersonic lifting body that is characterized by an attached, or nearly attached, bow shock wave along its leading edge.

The experimental X-51A Waverider is an unmanned, autonomous supersonic combustion ramjet-powered hypersonic flight test demonstrator for the U.S. Air Force. The X-51A is designed to be launched from an airborne B-52 Stratofortress bomber.

Waverider (Matthew Ryder) is a superhero appearing in media published by DC Comics universe. He was created by Archie Goodwin and Dan Jurgens, with the first version of the character, Matthew Ryder, first appearing in Armageddon 2001 #1 (May 1991). [1]

We can now learn how waveriders are optimized based on the characteristics of the assumed flowfield. The waverider owes its origins to work done on winged atmospheric reentry vehicles in the 1950s.
