Extract

The achievement of high propelling nozzle performance in supersonic flight is vital to the success of any aircraft designed to cruise supersonically for prolonged periods. For such projects, the payload fraction is small compared with subsonic aircraft, and the ratio of gross to net thrust is high. As a result, the penalty in range/payload performance for a shortfall in nozzle gross thrust efficiency is inevitably severe.
