Imagine a diverging channel in place of the jet engine. Airenters the channel supersonically and accelerates further in thediverging geometry. The exit velocity is an even faster jet whichwould provide thrust to the aircraft. In this design no energy isrequired in the form of combustion. Would this design work? If yes,why, and if not, why not? Use equations to explain your physicsbased arguments. You can use a quantitative example to make yourpoint.
