Abstract
Forward-swept sidewall compression inlets have been tested at Mach 4 to study the effects of body-side compression surfaces on inlet performance. The measurements include mass flow capture and mean surface pressure distributions obtained during simulated combustion-induced pressure increases downstream of the inlet. Inlet performance is evaluated using starting and unstarting characteristics, mass capture, mean surface pressure distributions, and permissible back-pressure limits. The results indicate that inlet performance can be improved with selected body-side compression surfaces placed between the inlet side walls.
