In supersonic flow about isolated bodies, large energy losses usually occur due to wave systems which extend far from bodies; supersonic flow entering cascade is considered and possibility of entirely eliminating this extended wave system is demonstrated; thus, there is no reason for supersonic compressors to be necessarily inefficient; because of encouraging results, experimental single stage supersonic compressor has been constructed and tested in Freon-12.
