The inlet system performance requirements associated with supersonic V/STOL aircraft place extreme demands on the inlet designer. The present effort makes maximum use of flow improvement techniques, proven for high subsonic maneuvering flight and adapts them to the critical static and low speed/high angle-of-attack flight regime of the supersonic V/STOL aircraft. A description of the aerodynamic design, model characteristics, data analysis, discussion, and conclusions concerning the most promising inlet design approaches are contained. The appendix contains the reduced wind tunnel data plots and pressure distribution.
