| − | An '''air intake''' (or simply an “intake”) is a [[part]] which supplies [[intake air]], a resource required by [[jet engine]]s. To do so they must be in their “Open” state and inside an oxygenated [[atmosphere]], such as that of [[Kerbin]] or [[Laythe]].

| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | Intake air collected varies proportionally with speed and inversely with altitude. Intakes cause the same amount of drag whether open or closed.<ref name="ForumsDrag104">[http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/118234-on-the-particulars-of-drag-in-104/ On the particulars of drag in 1.0.4] - KSP Forums</ref>

| − | Seaplanes and boats have also been made with unorthodox use specifically of the [[XM-G50_Radial_Air_Intake#Aquanautics|XM-G50 Radial Air Intake]]. With [[1.0.5]], improved hydrodynamics make this unnecessary for building boats or seaplanes. Intakes can also be used as a sort of nose cone to reduce drag on rockets.<ref name=ForumsDrag104 />
