Abstract
A shapeable inlet manifold for a hypersonic scramjet includes an inlet lower cowling; a mount surface; and an inlet stream surface movably coupled to the mount surface, wherein the inlet lower cowling and the inlet stream surface define an opening of the shapeable inlet manifold allowing fluid flow therethrough. The inlet stream surface has first and second dispositions relative to the lower cowling defining first and second shapes of the opening, thereby providing respective first and second flow characteristics through the inlet manifold during flight.
