This is fairly self explanatory. It's a sub assembly for allowing large planes to fly higher and faster without looking like intake monsters. The form factor is somewhat like that of a jumbo jet engine, and the plethora of intakes allow for full throttle up to around 30,000 meters. Add four of them to a large plane with a rocket engine or two and the plane will probably be SSTO.

..It still looks like a airhogging monster.

Yes, but it's not as bad as intakes on bicouplers on bicouplers or just intakes attached to the wings with cubic struts.

Is that 6:1 intakes per engine?

A bit much for me but I like the concept.

Thanks. It's actually six forwards facing ram intakes and six rearward facing circular intakes (mainly for decorative purposes, but I'm pretty sure they at least supply a little air).
