Abstract: 
We consider choosing the circuit of an aerospace plane at the present stage of development of science and technical equipment in Ukraine. The maximal use of the power of the Earth's atmosphere is provided. Choosing the constructive circuit is made on the basis of the analysis of some results of world development for aerospace systems and our design estimate.
Keywords: aerospace systems, constructive circuit, design estimate
