sorry to be an idiot poster........
but ALL supersonic aircraft have a system to 'ramp' air going into the intakes to ensure the air is not going supersonic into the engine.
so, yeah.... your comment was quite correct!!!
But... it could be changed to "a jet engine will only work if the air entering is subsonic."
anybody know why supersonic intakes are made square?
