Ladies and Gentlemen,
The jet engines of the Concorde had to be small in order to have only a little air-resistance... That is why designers had to denounce of more effective turbo-fan engines that have a bigger diameter...
However if the jet engines within the turbo-fan engines were only micro-turbines (as seen in the recent concept car of Jaguar) that are possible by today then the entire turbo-fan engine could have a small diameter, too standing the demands of aerodynamics of a supersonic aircraft...
Turbo-fan engines would mean a better efficiency and less noise on a supersonic jet, as well - a welcomed change of the iconic Concorde... ("But Jaguar doesn't even produce jet engines???")
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
