SUPERSONIC CARET INLET SYSTEM LEADING EDGE SLAT FOR IMPROVED INLET PERFORMANCE AT OFF-DESIGN FLIGHT CONDITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to an engine inlet for efficient operation on a design Mach number and an off-design Mach number having an inlet having a caret configuration having an efficient leading edge formed in the inlet to be extended to be rotated from a contracted position adjusted to correspond to a nominal Mach number shock wave to the off-design Mach number shock wave.
