Abstract:The integration of the propulsion system is one of the most important aspects of the design of a supersonic aircraft, as it has a strong influence on performance, safety, and reliability. Here we examine some of the propulsion integration issues specific to transport aircraft cruising at Mach numbers between 1 and 2.5, a performance bracket that includes Concorde, the only commercial passenger transport ever to have entered regular airline service. Most of the chapter is centered on the fundamental design deci… Show more
