The air intake for air-breathing engines for supersonic flight velocities, especially ram jet engines and ram rocket engines of missiles, with an essentially rectangular intake contour, has a closing flap covering the said intake contour and an actuating mechanism. The closing flap has a one-piece design and is adapted to the intake contour such that it completely covers the air intake in its closed position, so that all peripheral scarved front edges are covered and thereby protected against erosion as well as against the penetration of foreign bodies.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An air intake for air-breathing engines for supersonic flight velocity, especially ramjet engines and ram rocket engines of missiles, the air intake comprising:an essentially rectangular intake contour, with a boundary layer air discharge channel;an inner closing flap covering an air intake opening of said intake contour; andan actuating mechanism for opening the closing flap, said closing flap having a one-piece design and being adapted to the intake contour such that it completely covers the air intake opening in a closed position such that all peripheral scarved front edges are covered and are protected against erosion, the penetration of foreign bodies and deformation as a result, said actuating mechanism having a guide ramp to open the closing flap, at which guide ramp an edge of the closing flap that is the rear edge when viewed in the direction of flow can slide into its open position, and it has a locking means, which holds the closing flap in its closed position.
