Abstract
Air intake and flying device, particularly a missile, equipped with such an air intake.The air intake (1) consisting an elongate duct (4) equipped with at least one roughly planar face (7A), and a moving ramp (8) which is arranged on the outside on the planar face (7A) of the duct (4) and which can be moved in translation over said planar face (7A) along the duct (4) and brought into one of two stable positions, namely a retracted position in which it is set back from the air inlet end (5) of the duct (4) on the planar face (7A) of the duct (4), and a deployed position in which, while being partially arranged on said planar face (7A), it protrudes beyond the duct (4) at its air inlet end (5).
