Abstract:

A dual, side-mounted inlet for air-launched ramjet missiles that require h angle-of-attack capability. The inlets are located symetrically on both sides of the vehicle pitch plane at an optimum angular displacement around the vehicle's lower surface from windward side meridian, lying in the pitch plane. The inlet pressure recovery and relative weight flow reach maximum values at angular displacements between 45. degree. and 60. degree. at positive angles of attack. The inlet is attached to the vehicle with a conventional boundary layer diverter of minimum height.
