Two normal -wedge-inlet configurations (straight and sweptback splitter plates) were investigated in the Lewis 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at Mach numbers of 1.50 to 1.99. Negligible differences occurred in the performances of the two normal-wedge inlets. In comparison with a previously tested scoop inlet, the normal-wedge configuration showed superior thrust-minus-drag characteristics at Mach 1.99. However the scoop inlet was better at Mach numbers of 1.80 and 1.50.
