For vectored thrust or "VSTOL"( a layman`s term) try "Aircraft Design, a Conceptual Approach" by Dan Raymer. These are both AIAA publications. For a decent SCRAMjet illustration see "Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, Design Point Analysis" by Chuck Smith Since propulsion is my bag, I`ll try to field any q`s. If you have specifics please give your background so that I can phrase the answer accordingly.
