Current research efforts on commercial supersonic flight aim to overcome past challenges by designing a new generation of sustainable supersonic airplanes. Achieving this goal requires careful consideration of the propulsion system during the design process. This study proposes a mixed-flow turbofan engine model coupled with emission estimation routines to increase the reliability of the conceptual design of future supersonic aircraft. The model enables parametric analyses by analyzing variations in main engine design parameters ( π c , π f , B P R ) as function of the system and mission requirements, such as the Mach number, and suggesting applicability boundaries. The overall methodology was applied to a low-boom Mach 1.5 case study, allowing for both on-design and off-design analyses and generating a propulsive database to support preliminary mission simulations and chemical emission estimation. Finally, the accuracy and reliability of the engine model was validated against GSP 11 data for a generic mixed-flow turbofan engine. A modified version of the Fuel Flow Method, originally developed by Boeing, allows for emissions estimation throughout the mission for a supersonic engine using biofuels. The application of the methodology led to the definition of an engine with a π c of 30 and BPR of 0.7 for the selected case study, which was successful in meeting the initial mission requirements.
