I would like to supercharge the engine as much as possible with forward motion, let's assume 250mph or more. What kind of scoop shape would give the biggest pressure boost to the engine with the least airframe drag?
Probably a slot at the wing and/or tail leading edges, right? Or a round scoop with a sharp edge out in the prop slipstream?
... and what sort of pressure gain might we want to consider for something like this?
Edit: sorry, I should have done a search first.
