Hey there Ernest, Thanks for the link to that PDF, I've actually read that a while ago and then forgot about it. I've only just glanced at it quickly and didn't pick out anything in Picture A that show'd much of a difference except the smiley face intake as well as the bluff body cowl exits are slightly different. Is this what you are refering to? [or maybe I'm dense and am missing something else alot more significant]  I've actually done a smiley face induction on a previous model [ I think I modified this current model to the new profile] but was told that it would work better w/ a more seperate induction with a sorta boundry layer splitter [Picture k of that same report]  I didn't totally agree with it at the time on the principle that the boundry layer there is... 0.0001 thick or so.. [ just an un-educated guess]  It would be an easy fix to make it w/out the boundry seperator or.. not.. which ever. I've also gone for a more streamlined cowl exit which transitions from the front of the cowl to its exit point, making it alot less blunt compared to their picture A.

As always I'm open to suggestions.

Those are pretty, Jarrett, but I would like to refer you to

I think you find Picture A very interesting.
