Spillage-Adaptive Fixed-Geometry Bump Inlet of Wide Speed Range

In this work, a new spillage-adaptive bump inlet concept is proposed to widen the speed range for hypersonic air-breathing flight vehicles. Various approaches to improve the inlet start-ability are summarized and compared, among which the bump-inlet pattern holds the merits of high lift-to-drag rati...
