One of the most promising systems for the propulsion of high performance (velocity, range) missiles of the next generation is the airbreathing propulsion concept (turbojet or ramjet), but it leads to complex configuration with air-intakes. That is why parametric experimental studies were conducted in the LRBA (Laboratoire de Recherches Ballistiques et Aerodynamiques) C4 wind-tunnel in order to evaluate air-intake influence on body lift and center of pressure. Some of the results obtained during this study as well as the prediction method included in the MISSILE code for airbreathing missiles calculations are presented.
