Front opening needs to be circular like that of an aircraft jet engine for improved
aerodynamics.WHY?
Exhaust of the air bearings will have to be controlled carefully to ensure proper
capsule aerodynamics.
Assumptions:
1. Capsule moving at 210 m/s, i.e. at 470 miles per hour
2. Mass flow split assumed as: 50% sucked by fan, 50% goes around the capsule.
3. Air sucked by the fan is then distributed at 40% from the tail and remaining to
the air bearings.
Diffuser needed if top speed more than mach 0.65
