AT the present time turbojet aircraft types which are capable of level flight Mach numbers well into the supersonic range are appearing in increasing numbers. Yet, while this represents in a sense a new phase in the evolution of piloted aircraft, from the point of view of the propulsion engineer it is rather the end of an era, in that hitherto the turbojet engines employed have been essentially subsonic engines suitably strengthened. Henceforth we may expect to see the use of engines specifically designed for the appropriate range of Mach number, and it is the purpose of this article to review some of the implications of this change of outlook in so far as they affect the prediction of engine performance.
