The helicopter manufacturers are more and more interested in efficient air intakes. In order to be able to optimize the air intakes shapes, ONERA, in close connection with SNIAS and TURBOMECA, has developed a tridimensional code based on the singularity method. This code has been used to compute the flow in the air intake of two helicopters. This paper presents the first results obtained as well as some flow pictures taken from the ONERA water tunnel.
