Patent US2990142AA: Scoop-Type Supersonic Inlet With Precompression Surface. Angemeldet am 11. Mai 1955, veröffentlicht am 27. Juni 1961, Anmelder: Curtiss Wright Corp, Erfinder: Antonio Ferri.
„An object of this invention is to provide a novel construction of a scoop-type supersonic air inlet for the efficient conversion of dynamic pressure to static pressure. A further object of this invention is to provide a novel construction to facilitate starting of a scoop-type supersonic air inlet. Increases in static pressure, or compression, in a supersonic inlet can be accomplished by the physical turning of the air which results in the generation of compressive shock waves. A further object of the invention comprises the provision of a scoop-type air inlet having a novel aerodynamic compression surface (hereinafter termed a compression bump) for more efficiently producing compression in the inlet.“

The many published works of A. Ferri proved invaluable in the formulation of the theoretical methods. […] The concept of a contoured or ‚bump‘ surface as a combination precompression surface and boundary-layer removal device is presented as an aid to high-speed inlet design.“
