Suggests that the next civil supersonic passenger aircraft project will pose a number of challenges. The propulsion system for this aircraft will have to achieve economic operation for both supersonic and subsonic cruise modes. In addition, the current and intended noise and pollutant emissions legislation will have to be met. Suggests that, while there are a number of proposed engines for the next generation civil supersonic aircraft, they all exhibit difficulties in meeting the compromises inherent in the engine duty. Offers a novel solution based on a unique design. Discusses the underlying issues and presents the design based on retractable fans driven by a single stage double pass tip turbine.
