The '''Shock Cone Intake''' is an [[air intake]] for [[jet engine]]s. Unlike other air intakes it does not lose intake efficiency with increasing mach speed making it uniquely well suited for high-supersonic jet engines. It also has a large intake area which allows it to provide sufficient air for approximately 4 [[CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine|R.A.P.I.E.R]] engines. These advantages come at the cost of being the heaviest and most expensive air intake.
