An Experimental Investigation at Large Scale of Several Configurations of an NACA Submerged Air Intake

"An investigation of an NACA submerged air intake was conducted on a full-scale model of a fighter-type airplane. This study was made to determine the large-scale aerodynamic characteristics of a submerged air intake proposed as the result of small-scale tests and to compare the pressure-recovery characteristics of the large- and small-scale installations. Additional tests were made to determine the effect on pressure recovery of a systematic variation of ramp divergence" (p. 1).
