The Boeing X-51 forebody is an example of cone-derived waverider

A WaveRider is a hypersonic aircraft design that improves its supersonic lift-to-drag ratio by using the shock waves being generated by its own flight as a lifting surface, a phenomenon known as compression lift. To date the only aircraft to use the technique was the Mach 3 supersonic XB-70 Valkyrie, which used drooping wingtips to generate waverider lift.
