Air inlet designs from simple pitot‐type subsonic designs to complex, controllable supersonic applications are addressed in depth including a description of the Concorde air inlet control system, which, albeit an old design, still represents the most efficient supersonic air inlet system to enter service.

    Exhaust system coverage includes thrust reversing concepts from the clam‐shell diverter used on many of the early low by‐pass turbofans to the fan stream diverter designs of the high by‐pass engines.

    Thrust vectoring is also addressed including the unique Rolls‐Royce Pegasus which powers the Royal Navy Harrier and Boeing AV‐8B STOVL aircraft.

    The STOVL version of the new joint strike fighter is covered briefly together with an overview of the thrust vectoring F‐119 engine which powers the US Air Force F‐22 Raptor aircraft.

    A brief overview of nacelle cowl anti‐icing systems is also included in this chapter.
