The methods used to analyze the aerodynamic performance of V/STOL inlets at the NASA Lewis Research Center are briefly described. Recent extensions and applications of the method are emphasized. They include the specification of the Kutta condition for a slotted inlet, the calculation of suction and tangential blowing for boundary layer control, and the analysis of auxiliary inlet geometries. A comparison is made with experiment for the slotted inlet and also for tangential blowing. Finally, an optimum inlet diffuser velocity distribution is developed.
