Figure 6.8 - Cost Association with Inlet Shocks<br />
Figure 6.9 below shows the off design inlet area ratio that is required for the Vendetta. The<br />
equations used to find the data are shown below. The actual capture inlet area is depicted by A 1 ,<br />
with the area at the shock being A s , and the actual flow area being captured by the inlet as A 0i .<br />
As the Vendetta increases in speed the engine requires a greater amount of inlet area for a<br />
constant mass flow rate.<br />
