Abstract:
A supersonic nacelle design is disclosed herein that employs a bypass flow path internal to the nacelle and around the engine. By shaping the nacelle, the nacelle may function to reduce sonic boom strength, cowl drag, and /or airframe interference drag. The nacelle may also function to improve total pressure recovery and/or total thrust of the primary flow path through the engine.
