Usage

The XM-G50 Radial Air Intake is an air intake for jet engines. It collects more oxygen at higher velocities, simulating more air passing through the intake as the craft velocity increases.

Description

Tired of sucking in air directly from the front of something, an intrepid designer asked the question. "Why not make an intake that sticks out, then we can put one anywhere!". Shortly thereafter the XM-G50 prototype was constructed. However this led to a tragic abuse of intakes in SSTO designs.
