I have seen a smoke test on the airflow into a turbine and the air seems to straighten itself out into the inlet no matter what is in the way or where the air is comming from, ......

Does this test has been done in a wind tunnel with the proper flight speed simulated ?
My thought is that if you put a jet in static on ground and just put smoke behind the inlet, there is only suction from the engine, but not the great debitment of air due to the speed, and that would change how thing goes aroud...
That's not the same difficulty to test !!!
Edit : totaly agree with Hofer !
