Radial valves

Having gone over the various valve configurations I think something like this would be more efficient in terms of getting air into the engine. Not shown is the fuel sprayer which would be mounted in the back of the nosecone and spray radially into the incoming air.
The valve leaves would be separate and held in place with inner retaining ring allowing easy replacement of individual flaps.
