Abstract

A theoretical analysis was made of an aircraft propulsion system incorporating a centrifugal jet engine and a supersonic propeller. The primary aim was to increase the economy of a jet configurated engine. The design for a supersonic engine was included, since it was necessary to use a propeller, in order to create thrust for the installation.
