The effective operation of airbreathing missiles is strongly dependent on the efficiency of the air intake system and its ability to supply the engine with air of adequate quality at all required flight conditions while minimizing any undesirable effects that the intakes may have on the overall aerodynamic characteristics of the missile. The role of the intake in the propulsion system of turbojet and ramjet powered missiles is described and both the internal and external aerodynamic aspect of the induction system are addressed. The features of various types of air intake commonly used for subsonic and supersonic operation are discussed. The causes and effects of flow instability and flow non-uniformity at engine entry are considered and the operational relationship between the engine and the intake is shown. Finally three major aspects of intake installation are discussed: namely the influence of the missile body flowfields on internal performance; the forces and moments generated by the internal flow; and the effect of the intakes and their associated fairings on the overall aerodynamic characteristics of the missile.
