Examples of jet lift aircraft powered by competing systems of single lift/thrust turbofan and composite installation of specialized lifting and propulsion engines; characteristics required of engines for next generation of low level strike aircraft having supersonic capability can now be considered; simple, idealized assumptions for aircraft performance parameters are adopted to consider effects of variations in power plant characteristics and so reach broad conclusions.
