Abstract: Thedevelopmentofreentryguidancemethodsforhypersonicglidingvehicleswasreviewed.Firstly,thedynamicsofareentryvehiclewasestablished.Thepathconstraints,theterminalconstraintsandthegeographicconstraintswereanalyzedforareentryflight.Secondly,longitudinalreentryguidancealgorithmsweredividedintothreecategories:thetrajectorytrackingmethod,thepredictorcorrectormethod,andthehybridmethod.Lateralreentryguidancealgorithmsweredividedintotwocategories:guidancefortheconventionalconstraintsandguidanceforthegeographicconstraints.Reviewswerepresentedforthethreelongitudinalguidancemethodsandthetwolateralguidancemethods.Finally,theguidancetechnologywasprospectedforhypersonicglidingvehiclesaccordingtoflightmissionsinthefuture.
