The performance of a funnel-shaped hypersonic vehicle forebody is shown at its design Mach number of 15 and at two lower off-design Mach numbers. Inlet flow quality is presented by contour plots of flow angularity and pressure. Performance is indicated by mass capture ratio, total pressure recovery, kinetic energy efficiency and drag.
