Cycle studies have shown that the turbofan engine equipped with a supersonic through-flow fan, capable of accepting supersonic axial flow from the inlet, has the potential to be very efficient at the supersonic cruise condition.xv, 196 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1990.B683Aerodynamics, SupersonicAirplanes -- Turbofan enginesThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-03122009-040531/
