The Blackbird has some of this problems with its inlets, where they were not particularly efficient in the trans sonic regime, and it accelerated slowly there. You have to give credit to the North American engineers who came up with the basic inlet shape that they used on their mach plus designs starting with the F-107 through the A3J and XB-70. Its been one of the most enduring shapes on supersonic aircraft since. Look at the inlet shape of the Concorde, Soviet fighters, and the F/A-18E and you will see the resemblance. I wonder who the slide rule slingin' unsung hero was at NA who first thought it up. http://www.shanaberger.com/images/F-107.jpg http://aviaweb.calexo.org/monographi...img/ya3j-1.jpg http://www.123.cl/canales/noticias/img/concorde.gif http://www.armscontrol.ru/atmtc/Arms...Su27/su-37.jpg http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRTy...il/F-18EUn.JPG
