A ram air system for an aircraft having an engine and a fuselage with an outer mold line. The ram air system includes an engine air pathway having an opening in the outer mold line defining an engine inlet. The engine air pathway is configured to supply operating air for combustion in the engine. An auxiliary air pathway includes a first intake disposed inside the outer mold line in the engine inlet and a second intake disposed externally to the engine air pathway. The auxiliary air pathway is configured to draw in cooling air to cool ancillary aircraft components from at least one of the first intake and the second intake based on the airspeed of the aircraft.
