The core of Hypersoar is the engine - especially since it is a wave rider design i.e. the whole body is integrated with the engine so that the whole plane can 'ride' the shock wave. This being the reason why all hypersonic concepts, including X-43, X-30 look so similar.Of course, air breathing engines at that height have to be Scramjets or something similar. These are currently being developed in the X-43 Hyper-X program.
