Inlet Aerodynamics

Inlet Aerodynamics is the branch of aerospace engineering that studies the behavior and control of airflow as it enters an air-breathing propulsion system, distinguished by its focus on optimizing pressure recovery, flow uniformity, and shock wave management within the inlet to ensure efficient engine operation across varying flight conditions.
