The aerodynamic data of two waveriders developed by means of Hypersonic Small Disturbance Theory for two elliptic cones are presented and analyzed for a wide range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. Various off-design performances of waverider with on-design performances are obtained and fully discussed. These data about aerodynamics and performaces of waveriders containing some important information for high speed flying objects could be used for the design of a hypersonic airplane which is being investigated as a future plane. Through entropy distributions for elliptic cones and vaveriders, the vortical layer which is quite difficult to be studied especially for a special body like a waverider is handled in this paper and numerical methods to catch the vortical layer more clearly are also discussed.
