Summary of propulsion system requirements in areas of takeoff noise, sonic boom, off design operating efficiency, and engine life; on basis of study, low-bypass-ratio turbofan appears to be best all around power plant for cruise Mach numbers up to about 2.5; for cruise Mach numbers of 3 and above system combining features of turbofan and ram jet, possibly in form of turbofan jet appears to be optimum system.
