ABSTRACT The demand for economic and efficient aircraft has focused more attention on the integrated design process. In addition, supersonic flight speeds pose unique design constraints on both propulsion and airframe technologies. This paper addresses some of the key features of engine/airframe integration in both the subsonic and supersonic flight regimes, and addresses both design and test implications
