Gary,
I read that General Dynamics designed an inlet for the F-16 that had
variable geometry, for customers who may have desired a higher "dash"
speed. Was this ever tested? I know that an F-16 once hit 1,600 mph.
This may be too over the top, but what about a variable geometry inlet
system for Grummans?

Wouldn't such a device be more about tuning how pressure waves build up at
high subsonic and supersonic speeds rather than amount of air fed to engine
as presumably at mach# speeds the engine is getting quite a bit of air. One
of the MIGs (21 I think) had a movable cone in the engine (SR71 may have had
this too) to allow some tuning of the supersonic airflow into the engine.
If this is the case, unless you put hang a PT-6 and a JATO you're probably
not going to see a benefit.
Anyway, these are simply the ramblings of a software engineer and not a real
engineer so I look forward to responses by those more knowledgeable:)
Jamey

this isn't too far out of the question. a properly designed exit ramp will
self regulate the inlet.

Cockpit adjustable cowl flaps, just like a Bonanza (and others)!
Actually any plane that can cruise at 150 kts and needs to climb at 100
kts can use adjustable cowl flaps to both increase climb cooling and
reduce cruise drag. I think closing the cowl flaps on my Bonanza at
cruise speed increases the speed by about 5 mph. Quite significant.
