In this paper, scattering from hypersonic vehicles covered with the plasma sheath has been studied by the multilayer thin dielectric sheet (ML-TDS) approximation method. Single-layer model and multi-layer model are used to solve the scattering problem with the thinner and thicker plasma sheath, respectively. A few unknowns have been needed to model the hypersonic vehicles covered with the plasma sheath. A waverider-shaped vehicle model has been analyzed in the paper.
