Some aircraft, like fighter planes or [[experiment]]al high speed aircraft, require very high excess thrust to accelerate quickly and to overcome the high drag [[associated]] with high speeds. For these airplanes, engine efficiency is not as important as very high thrust. Modern military aircraft typically employ afterburners on a low bypass turbofan core. [[Future]] hypersonic aircraft will employ some type of ramjet or rocket propulsion.
