The point of a wedge-air rocket system is to use the difference in air pressure at different altitudes to regulate the jet. In a conventional engine, its parameters are limited by the bell of the exhaust nozzle. In a wedge-air engine, the environment itself is part of the system and directly influences the shape and lift of the jet. But this is only in theory.

It is assumed that the wedge-air engine will independently compensate for all negative effects during flight in a rarefied environment. And this will increase the efficiency of travelling in the stratosphere, as well as near space. Polaris Spaceplanes immediately made a glider in the form of a triangular reusable vehicle, as its creators are confident of success. And the accident of the first prototype did not affect their enthusiasm.
