DEFLECTED SLIP OF THE SUPERSONIC L-SHAPED INLET SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIR INTAKE IN AN UNCALCULATED FLIGHT MODE

摘要

An engine inlet for efficient operation at both design Mach number and off-design Mach numbers with an inlet having a caret configuration with rotatably extending effective leading edges on the inlet from a retracted position aligned with a nominal Mach number shock wave to an extended position aligned with an off-design Mach number shock wave.
