Which inlet design of supersonic jet engine is preferable?

A normal shock inlet forms a normal shock ahead of the inlet, with an attendant large loss in total pressure. In contrast, an oblique shock inlet creates an oblique shock wave, and the flow subsequently passes through a relatively weak normal shock at the lip of the inlet. For the same flight conditions (Mach number and altitude), the total pressure loss for the oblique shock inlet is less than for a normal shock inlet. Hence, everything else being equal, the resulting engine thrust will be higher for the oblique shock inlet. Therefore, oblique shock inlets are preffered.

What does total pressure indicates?

The total pressure is an indicator of how much useful work can be done by gas. Everything else being equal, the higher the total pressure, the more useful is the flow.

How to Calculate Pressure Ratio across Oblique Shock?
