This paper describes experimental testing undertaken to evaluate the mass capture performance, self starting capability and back pressure limitations of a streamline-traced three dimensional inlet. Experiments were conducted in the University of Oxford High Density Tunnel. Instrumentation included fast-response surface pressure measurements along the inlet, and a novel back pressure\/mass capture device suitable for accurate measurement of mass flow rate in short duration testing. Tests were performed at Mach 7 over a range of unit Reynolds numbers to evaluate the inlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/HiSST-2024-242.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Andrew PILKINGTON, Luke J DOHERTY, Chris J HAMBIDGE, Matthew MCGILVRAY, Tristan VANYAI, Vincent WHEATLEY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: HiSST-2024-242<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,1407,1414],"tags":[458,621,1782,614],"class_list":["post-17152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-11-hisst-2024","category-propulsion-systems-and-components-11-hisst-2024","tag-ground-based-testing","tag-inlet","tag-mass-capture","tag-scramjet","category-993","category-1407","category-1414","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17152"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20744,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17152\/revisions\/20744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
