The inlet velocity of air, also known as the approach velocity, is the speed at which the air enters the aircraft engine before combustion.
This velocity is essential in aircraft design and can be calculated using the following formula:.
- The Mass Flow Rate of Air is the rate at which air enters the engine, typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- The Cross-Sectional Area of the Inlet is the effective area through which air flows into the engine, typically measured in square meters (m^2).
