Some fundamental aspects of airbreathing propulsion systems are considered with emphasis on fuel economy in relation to the thermal and the propulsion efficiency. The state of the art of piston-engines in general aviation is surveyed and the application of gas turbines in civil transports at high-subsonic speeds is considered. Trends of future developments with respect to ducted- and unducted (propulsion) concepts are discussed. Some features of the propulsion of supersonic transports are reviewed, based on the Concorde, and future developments, and propulsion concepts for hypervelocity vehicles are reviewed. The leading role of propulsion in aviation is emphasized.
