NASA Tests Novel Supersonic Inlet

http://www.physorg.com/news158.html

An advanced high-speed inlet for propulsion systems to power air
transport vehicles at supersonic speeds has completed testing at
NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland.
Tests during the last two weeks helped refine the inlet's performance
through adjustments to the inlet geometry. "Compared to typical inlets
in this operating range, tests showed high pressure recovery, low cowl
drag, reduced complexity, increased

NASA has a working Space Scuttle, too, and NASA Mrs rovers will
revolutionize our understanding of Mars as soon as they do it.

Burt Rutan, maybe. Lockeed Skunk Works, probably. NASA, never.
