My mentions: mansplaining the F-35, which is a program I worked on.

this is true but the vehicle is going to have a very limited inclination range unless it maneuvers early
-
i expect the combination of srb acceleration and relatively severe vectoring is going to require some clever wing design
-
the big challenge is fighting the internal stresses if you're using aero maneuvering. Basically fighting against the engine.
-
i'm fairly confident the vehicle itself can withstand the stress, a scramjet does not have many points of shearing failure
-
the stage linkage is a little more concerning tho
-
The weird stuff comes when you get things e.g. skin stress on the fuse, etc. A lot depends on materials. Composites can come apart.

Aeroelasticity is all about failures being in the least intuitive spots.
