This work quantifies the decay of the unsteady peak distortion levels downstream of the S-duct inlet planes. It highlights how the development of the flow distortion downstream of the S-duct intake cannot be ruled out independently from the conditions at the inlet of the intake since these can alter the inherent distortion. This is a step forward for the integration of the intake and aero-engine.
