Practical Intake Aerodynamic Design (AIAA Education Series)

This book provides, for the first time, the distilled experience of authors who have been closely involved in design of air intakes for both airframe and engine manufacturers. Much valuable data from systematic experimental measurements on intakes for missiles, combat, and V/STOL aircraft from research sources in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Germany are included, together with the latest developments in computational fluid dynamics applied to air intakes.
