Inlet Cone
Inlet cones (sometimes called shock cones or inlet centerbodies) are a component of some supersonic aircraft. They are primarily used on ramjets, such as the turboramjets of the SR-71 or the pure ramjets of the D-21 Tagboard and Lockheed X-7. Some conventional turbojet aircraft including the Su-7 Fitter and the MiG-21 Fishbed also use an inlet cone.

Famous quotes containing the word inlet:
“Of lower states, of acts of routine and sense, we can tell somewhat; but the masterpieces of God, the total growths and universal movements of the soul, he hideth; they are incalculable. I can know that truth is divine and helpful; but how it shall help me I can have no guess, for so to be is the sole inlet of so to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
