An intake for feeding air to an engine of an aircraft includes an opening for sucking in air, which opening faces in the direction of movement of the aircraft; and an air duct between the opening and the engine, which air duct is curved such that an impact region is arranged in the air duct after the opening in relation to the direction of movement of the aircraft. An object flying into the opening contacts the impact region. The impact region has a penetration region, which is designed to be penetrated by the impinging object.
