A compression pylon for an aircraft with a wing-mounted engine, that does not cause supersonic airflow to occur within the fuselage-wing-pylon-nacelle channel is presented. The chord length of the pylon is greater than the local chord length of the wing to which it is attached. The maximum thickness of the pylon occurs at a point corresponding to the local trailing edge of the wing. As a result, the airflow through the channel never reaches supersonic velocities.
