A propulsion system includes a main gas turbine engine adapted for generating propulsive thrust during subsonic and supersonic flight operations and a supplementary propulsion unit adapted for generating additional thrust. The supplementary propulsion unit has an air intake and an exhaust for gas accelerated by the supplementary propulsion unit to provide the additional thrust and is adapted to generate the additional thrust during a limited range of subsonic flight operations, and to be dormant during other flight operations. The propulsion system has housing for the supplementary propulsion unit, including intake and exhaust covers which are moveable between deployed and stowed configurations. During the limited range of subsonic flight operations the intake and exhaust cover are moved to the deployed configuration to open the intake and the exhaust. During other flight operations the intake and exhaust cover are moved to the stowed configuration to close the intake and the exhaust.
