NASA funded the preliminary design of a flight demonstrator aircraft with a greatly reduced sonic boom signature to enable supersonic flight over land. In 2017, two tests were performed at the NASA Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel, an aerodynamic stability/control test and an inlet performance test. The inlet was unique due to the location on the vehicle, located on the top centerline near the rear of the aircraft. Test data provided a validation and performance dataset for engine integration on the demonstrator vehicle. The subject of this report is the subsonic and supersonic performance data collected for the centerline top-mounted inlet.
