A subsonic pitot intake is

  • A.A duct with a movable centre body
  • B.A duct with adjustable ramps
  • C.A rearward facing duct
  • D.A simple forward facing duct with a rounded lip

Answer: D

Its simplicity and low weight suit subsonic and low supersonic aircraft where shock losses are small or absent. The rounded lip matters because at static conditions the flow must turn sharply into the intake and a sharp lip would separate immediately.
