Abstract
The creation of Russian supersonic passenger planes is considered. The development of promising airliners for no more than 20 passengers is discussed. A hybrid power unit consisting of turbojet and supersonic ramjet engines is proposed. The proposed hybrid system performs well both in ascent and descent and in cruising. This approach has undeniable economic and engineering benefits.
