A J34 turbojet engine was investigated at free-stream Mach numbers of 0.12 and 1.6 to 2.0 to determine the effect of supersonic inlet operation on engine performance. With the excepetion of ideal jet thrust, the use of generalized engine parameters correlated the engine data satisfactorily when the exit nozzle was choked. Large total-pressure distortations did not affect compressor efficiency. During inlet pulsing, the engine operated with compressor-inlet total-pressure variations as large as 18 percent of the local average and at frequnecies of 17 plus or minus 2 cycles per second. Total-pressure amplitudes propagated through the engine and caused ideal-gross-thrust changes up to 12 percent.
