Abstract
Report presenting an investigation to determine some of the effects of lip geometry on drag and pressure recovery of a normal-shock nose inlet. Lip bluntness, lip camber, and forebody angle were all explored as possible variables. Total-pressure recoveries, external drags, duct total-pressure distributions, lip and forebody pressure distributions, and Schileren photographs are provided.
