Re:Boom (YC W16) – Supersonic Passenger Airplanes by Retric on Tuesday March 22, 2016 @01:13PM (#11338066)
You can get supersonic by having air intake, expansion chamber, blade, high pressure chamber, exhaust port.

Think something like this: <=|=>

Importantly the air flows through the compression chamber at Subsonic speeds.

PS: While simplified this is the general approach for low mach speeds as burning stuff in a supersonic combustion chamber is much more difficult.
