Abstract
A compression inner core cowl for a jet engine can have a concave annular section of the core cowl. The concave section can begin within the expanse of an outer fan cowl and extend aft of the fan cowl toward the tail cone, defining an annular bypass section between the fan cowling and the core cowling. The concave geometry of the core cowling reduces the strength of supersonic shock waves generated at the corners of the cowlings adjacent a supersonic airflow stream to increase overall efficiency of the engine.
