As a hypersonic aerodynamic configuration that can break through the lift-drag ratio barrier, waverider configuration is an important candidate for wide-speed reusable aircraft. Therefore. It has become a hot research topic that improving the low speed performance of the waverider vehicle and realizing wide-speed flight. Due to the idea of designing the flow field first and then constructing the shape of the waverider vehicle, the basic flow field will affect its performance. This paper analyzes and compares the calculation methods of the basic flow field, and then introduces the design methods of the combined, variable Mach number and vorticity lift wide-speed waverider vehicle, compares the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Finally, some suggestions for the future development of wide-speed waverider vehicle are put forward from two perspectives of basic flow field and design methods.
