  • Shockwave mitigation system for supersonic aircraft
    Patent number: 11834154
    Abstract: A method of supersonic thrust generation includes generating a thrust supersonic exhaust plume having a first average velocity from an engine, and expelling a bypass exhaust plume 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2023
    Assignee: NCTAR, LLC
