Inlet cone

MiG-21MF inlet cone

Inlet cones (sometimes called shock cones or inlet centerbodies[1]) are a component of some supersonic aircraft and missiles. They are primarily used on ramjets, such as the D-21 Tagboard and Lockheed X-7. Some turbojet aircraft including the Su-7, MiG-21, English Electric Lightning, and SR-71 also use an inlet cone.
