Intake momentum drag
Hello everybody,
while going through my performance notes, I came across something that is not very clear > A JET A/C ON TAKE-OFF RUN SUFFERS FROM SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THRUST DUE TO INTAKE MOMENTUM DRAG
I can't figure out how it can be, is it the drag caused by the intakes of the engines that cause turbulent airflow and therefore a less efficient compression/combustion/detent ?????
Any help will be well appreciated ! - SF
