    Good luck Jerry :-) It is always nice to have someone confirm
the laws of physics by breaking them :-)

OK Jerry document that. Give me both messages :-)

However, I paid close
attention to everyones past comments, especially yours, regarding
submerged inlets and concluded that I could not make them work
without air scoops.  Air scoops under the belly  must be agreeable
with nature's decrees as it has been done over and over. So I am
trying to limit the depth of my airscoops by combining them with a
submerged ramp.  If it doesn't work, the scoops get bigger.  I am
always wary when the  laws of physics are trotted out.  Reminds me of
some religious nut telling us God's intentions.

I don't know why you feel like that. Every time you get in your
car and drive around the block the laws of physics are saving 
your life :-) Some car engineers paid strict attention to them.

Scoops like that don't work Jerry. If they did there would be no
need of boundary layer air bleeds like are found on all airplanes
built since World War two. What happened to the tunnel idea?
