Spaceplanes can fly or glide in the Earth 's atmosphere and land on runways rather than using parachutes to land in water or flat ground like capsules.

Spaceplanes have specific requirements for the final part of their journeys—as they return from space.

This year could see a test flight of the company Sierra Space's Dream Chaser —the first commercial spaceplane capable of orbital flight.

The X-37B's TPS uses tiles similar to the shuttle over the lower surface with a lower-cost alternative to reinforced carbon-carbon called Tufroc .

The tiles that protect Dream Chaser are made from silica, and each has a unique shape matched to the area on the vehicle they are designed to protect.
