Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for determining an optimal engine inlet area to minimize spillage drag. An algorithm may utilize aircraft parameters, aircraft performance charts, and engine models to determine the engine inlet area as a function of engine air mass flow, airspeed, and air density at current ambient conditions.
