Abstract
An arrangement for use with a propulsion system for a supersonic aircraft includes a center body configured for coupling to an inlet and to support a boundary layer formed when the supersonic aircraft is flown at a predetermined altitude supersonic speed. The arrangement further includes a first vortex generator disposed on the center body. The first vortex generator extends a first height above the center body. The arrangement still further includes a second vortex generator disposed on the center body. The second vortex generator extends a second height above the center body, the second height being greater than the first height. The first height and the second height are greater than approximately seventy-five percent of a thickness of the boundary layer proximate a location of the first vortex generator and the second vortex generator, respectively, when the aircraft if flown at the predetermined altitude and the predetermined speed.
