Chris, as soon as I hit "send" I recalled that we also tested the F-15
inlet/engine combination. That one is still flying, of course. I was
not as actively involved with that one.

The most complex ones that I worked with were the F-111 and the B-70. We
tested inlet/engine combinations in the PWT Supersonic Wind Tunnel
(16x16x40ft test section) to determine inlet performance at various Mach
numbers. The desired characteristics of such inlets are high pressure
recovery and freedom from inlet unstarts (where the shock system is expelled
from the inlet).
I love this list.
Yup. A wide variety of backgrounds and interests combined with
photography.
