A method of supersonic thrust generation includes generating a thrust supersonic exhaust plume (522) having a first average velocity from an engine (500), and expelling a bypass exhaust plume (532) having a second average velocity from the engine, the first average velocity greater than the second average velocity, so that the bypass exhaust plume inhibits coalescence of an engine exhaust plume compression shockwave (536).
