A combined cycle propulsion system for a flight vehicle includes a compressor-fed combustion engine, and a multi-mode supersonic engine. The multi-mode supersonic engine includes an adjustable inlet section, a combustion section arranged downstream of the adjustable inlet section and including a first combustor portion having at least one rotating detonation combustor and a second combustor portion having a supersonic combustion type combustor, and an adjustable exhaust nozzle section arranged downstream of the combustion section. The at least one rotating detonation combustor functions as a pilot for the supersonic combustion type combustor.
