Factors Controlling Air-Inlet Flow Distortions
Abstract
A study of several typical air inductions systems for modern aircraft indicate that flow distortions of about-pipe-flow magnitudes can be expected at near-optimum inlet-engine matched air-flow conditions and at small angles of attacks. These distortions may be seriously increased by operation at large angles of attack or yaw, or by supercritical operation of the inlets.
