The waverider is an atmospheric shuttlecraft in service aboard Federation Template:ShipClass starships. Unlike other auxiliary craft, the waverider is not stowed in a shuttlebay. Instead, is docked to the ventral side of the primary hull, just forward of the ship's primary navigational deflector. (VOY: "Equinox", "Endgame")

A hypersonic re-entry vehicle known as a "Waverider Shuttle" has actually been conceived and developed, using the "Waverider Theory". [1]
