An apparatus is formed of a cowl and a flow inlet formed on an interior surface of the cowl. The flow inlet has a supersonic compression section attached to a subsonic diffusion section at a throat. The supersonic compression section includes an at least partially elliptical compression ramp which extends along an approximately 180 degree arc along the interior surface. The flow inlet may form part of an aircraft. A method of air flow using the flow inlet is also disclosed.
