| abstract = Substantial reductions in aircraft 
size are possible if shorter, more aggressive, serpentine inlet ducts are used 
for low-observability constrained propulsion installations. To obtain this benefit, 
both inlet separation and compressor stall dynamics must be controlled. In this 
paper the integrated control of this coupled inlet/compression system is considered. 
Initial results are shown using separation point actuation to control both separation 
and stall dynamics. Calculations show that separation can be substantially reduced 
with approximately 1.2% core flow, based on scaling previous results. Simulation 
results using a medium fidelity model show that proportional control of distortion 
has little effect on stall behavior.
