Concorde engine intake "Thrust"

Mr Optimistic
This is one of those arguments that you could make go around and around for ever. The facts of the matter are this:
The intake DID provide a sizeable amount of thrust at Mach 2, but if it makes it easier to realise think of it in terms of the engine provides ultimately all of the thrust, and a large amount is projected through the intake assembly. Without the intake, the engine would not have been able to manifest this thrust in any way. However without an extremely capable and sophisticated Rolls Royce Olympus 593 being able to be operated at maximum supersonic efficiency, this thrust would still not have been realised by the engine.
We have an extremely complex powerplant arrangement here that took years to develop and gave phenomenal performance, these are facts.
