Subsonic Inlets

Static Low-Speed Cruise

Different Operating Regimes


Static: air is sucked in from all directions Low-speed: upstream cross-sectional area is larger than intake. Cruise: upstream cross-sectional area is smaller than intake.

F16 Normal Shock Inlet

Supersonic intake through a normal shock with stagnation pressure loss. Note the gap that sucks in the boundary layer developed upstream of intake.

F-14 Oblique Shock Inlet

Variable Geometry Intake

Supersonic inow occurs through a series of oblique shocks Note the variable geometry intake for different ight conditions.

SR-71 Mixed Shock Inlet


Blackbird

The Blackbird has a convergingdiverging inlet. The intake air is decelerated through a series of oblique shocks before entering the C-D diffuser. The throat area of the diffuser is varied by translating the aero-spike in the center.
