% Computes the inlet loss in an aircraft engine due to shockwaves. Computes p02/p01 due to inlet shock losses. Uses an empirical relationship. The ratio will be 1 for Mach numbers between 0 and 1. Above Mach 7.812 the ratio is zero. Type InletLoss for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: pR = InletLoss( m ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ m (1,:) Mach number ------- Outputs ------- pR (1,:) p02/p01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Benson, T.
