The turbojet and turbofan engines discussed in detail in the previous chapters are designed for high subsonic cruise speeds. The addition of an afterburner allows the turbojet engine to operate at transonic speeds for short periods of time. As shown in Fig. 1.1, for sustained supersonic flight speeds, ramjet or scramjet engines are necessary. These are discussed in this chapter. Keeping the intended audience in mind, only the basic concepts and ideas are presented here. The interested reader should consult the propulsion books given in the list of suggested reading for further details.
