A summary of V/STOL inlet analysis methods
Abstract
Methods to analyze the aerodynamic performance of V/STOL inlets at the NASA Lewis Research Center are discussed with emphasis on recent extensions and applications. Methods include the specification of the Kutta condition for a slotted inlet, the calculation of suction and tangential blowing for boundary layer control, and the analysis of auxiliary inlet geometries at angles of attack. An optimum diffuser velocity distribution is also developed, which can result in the shortest no-boundary layer control inlet and the lowest loss for the required amount of diffusion.
