The paper summarises the Supersonic Cruise engine studies that have been carried out as part of the UK contribution to the ICAO Noise Working Group activities, and presents the results of their integration in the Aircaraft Parametric Study by British Aerospace. Duct burning and variable cycle engines are also discussed. The recent Rolls-Royce experimental work on co-annular nozzles and mechanical ejector suppressors is reviewed and an international collaborative programme on mechanical ejector suppressor testing is described. It is shown how the choice of engine cycle depends on the characteristics of the aircraft, the amount of silencing available and the level of technology available at go-ahead. (Kursetz)
