A hypersonic propulsion engine includes: a turbine engine including a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the turbine engine defining a turbine engine inlet upstream of the compressor section and a turbine engine exhaust downstream of the turbine section; a ducting assembly defining a bypass duct having a substantially annular shape and extending around the turbine engine, an afterburning chamber located downstream of the bypass duct and at least partially aft of the turbine engine exhaust, and an inlet section located at least partially forward of the bypass duct and the turbine engine inlet; and an inlet precooler positioned at least partially within the inlet section of the ducting assembly and upstream of the turbine engine inlet, the bypass duct, or both for cooling an airflow provided through the inlet section of the ducting assembly to the turbine engine inlet, the bypass duct, or both.
