Report presenting an experimental study of the compression fields around axially symmetric isentropic spikes with varying degrees of compressive flow turning made at a Mach number of 3.85 to analyze the basic shock structures and thereby establish further design criteria for supersonic-inlet applications. Results regarding the original isentropic spike and cowl, isentropic survey-spike configurations, and external-compression limitations are provided.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
