The F-22 Raptor and some other jets do not have inlet spikes, yet they are able to achieve supersonic speeds. How is that possible?

The jet uses a fix3d, rhombohedral shaped jet intake combined with a serpentine intake duct. It allows for speeds just north of Mach 2 without the need for a variable geometry inlet to prevent shockwave ingestion.
