ABSTRACT:
A vented cowl variable geometry inlet for aircraft which provides means to permit starting an overly contracted inlet by dumping sufficient air to obtain the start, as well as to dump air when no thrust is required, but without loss of combustion, and to effect operation of an aircraft of piloted or missile character in a regime where reduction in fuel flow and thrust is advantageous.
