Variable cycle propulsion device for supersonic airplanes using diverted compressed air
DRIVE
December 18, 2002
The variable cycle propulsion unit has a propulsor (1) with a compressor and an auxiliary propulsion assembly (12) generating a complementary thrust. The complementary unit has a propulsion relay tube (20) from the main propulsor providing additional thrust. There is a vane which closes the tube for subsonic flight.
