The interest in second generation supersonic transport is considered. The propulsion systems necessary for a commercially and environmentally acceptable aircraft are identified. It is shown that for an isolated installation the tandem fan concept is the best. A feature of most other systems is the increased installation cross section required at a cruise and this causes penalizing levels of ware drag of an isolated system. Typical weight penalities are found to be of less importance than the wave drag. The need to consider integrated rather than isolated installations is emphasized.
