Abstract

The intake or inlet will be a key component of future hypersonic airbreathing spaceplane engines - for example the scramjet. In this paper, the most important intake options are reviewed and their basic shape design procedures outlined. Both planar and axisymmetrical varieties are covered, including Busemann and Oswatitsch types.
