I could! So... the variable intake ramp used on Variable Fighters is used in a couple of different ways. At subsonic speeds (far left), the variable intake ramp is stored up out of the way to allow maximum subsonic airflow into the superconducting ram-air pre-compressor stage in the VF's "hips".  (That pre-compressor is not actually part of the engine itself, which resides entirely in the VF's leg below the knee.) At supersonic speeds (center left), the variable intake ramp
