Some low-speed characteristics of an air-induction system having scoop-type inlets with provisions for boundary-layer control

Report presenting an investigation conducted at low speed of an air-induction system with twin scoop-type inlets on the sides of the fuselage of a model of an airplane designed for flight at supersonic Mach numbers. The leading edge of the lip of the scoop was rounded and there were provisions for control of the boundary layer ahead of the inlet. Results regarding the characteristics of the lips investigated, characteristics of the main duct with lip E, characteristics of the boundary layer control duct, and pressure coefficient distributions and boundary-layer characteristics are provided.
