Abstract
For a winged high speed missile that includes a two-dimensional inlet supplying air to the missile power plant, the compression ramp of the inlet is oriented with respect to the outwash angle produced by the missile body and the underneath surface of the wing such that the compression ramp of the inlet is subjected to an effective angle of attack. By proper inlet orientation the captured flow is turned inwardly toward the missile center line further compressing the incoming air.
