Abstract
The problems of creating a propulsion system for a new generation supersonic passenger aircraft are considered on the basis of a review of the work on the supersonic transport being carried out in the world. It is shown that the desire to achieve high flight performance and commercial effectiveness of a supersonic passenger aircraft while meeting up-to-date environmental requirements leads to contradictory technical solutions regarding the propulsion system: the location and number of engines, the scheme of the air intake and nozzle, the choice of the scheme and design parameters of the engine, the use of new high-temperature materials in the engine hot section, etc. The features of the operating conditions of the engine components of a supersonic passenger aircraft in comparison with the engines of up-to-date subsonic civil aviation aircraft and supersonic military aircraft are indicated. The calculated estimates of the influence of various technical solutions on the parameters of the supersonic passenger aircraft engine are given. Due to the complexity and multi-criterion nature of the task of creating a supersonic passenger aircraft propulsion system, its solution requires an integrated approach based on close cooperation of specialists in airframe aerodynamics, engine, etc.
