I've updated the design to use a ring intake around the fuselage. This should be a lot simpler and much more efficient, allowing for higher thrust during high alpha maneuvers and higher top speed. Unfortunately, this means that the nose will be less structurally sound and more prone to falling off on unplanned landings due to the weaker attachment to the rest of the fuselage. Hopefully the thrust gains from a cleaner inlet will make up for the extra reinforcement weight required to keep it in one piece.
