Extract

Recent studies of the performance of high-speed aircraft have emphasised the importance of engine-airframe integration. For example, Probert and Mallinson, and Bragg have pointed out the advantages of jet deflection in producing extra lift with little penalty in decreased thrust. Townend has drawn attention to producing thrust or lift on high-speed aircraft by external heat addition, and has calculated the effects on the range of the aircraft.
