Same of the problems associated with a rocket jet efflux at high altitude where the jet is highly under-expanded are briefly outlined. These include the interaction of incident electromagnetic radiation with the jet plasma, after-burning in the jet and other combustion problems as well as the possibility of heating problems an adjacent surfaces. There may also be important questions of drag and aerodynamic control if the jet plume induces a Forward boundary layer separation. In all of these problems a knowledge of the aerodynamic flow field is an essential pre-requisite. Approximate theories for predicting the characteristics of the flow field are outlined and some preliminary experiments in the R.A.E. hypersonic tunnel to check the predictions are described.
