1. An air supply system comprising:
an air intake in a cylindrical form configured to extend outwardly from an engine of an air vehicle and providing air supply into the engine in air vehicles;
an inlet port through which air supply takes place into the air intake;
a plurality of first apertures situated on a surface of the air intake providing uninterrupted air flow to the air intake when the inlet port is blocked;
at least one rotary cylinder having a radius larger than that of the air intake and a nested configuration with the air intake and mounted so as to be rotatable around the air intake;
a plurality of second apertures on a surface of the rotary cylinder, the plurality of first apertures and the plurality of second apertures forming an open position in which the first apertures and the second apertures are opposed to each other so that air is introduced into the air intake and a closed position to which the rotary cylinder is rotated from the open position and in which air flow to the air intake is prevented through the first apertures and the second apertures;
an actuator that rotates the rotary cylinder around the air intake;
at least one sensor unit measuring temperature, pressure, humidity and/or flow values of the air passing through the air intake;
at least one first gear situated on the rotary cylinder and triggered by the actuator;
at least one second gear which provides motion transmission between the actuator and the first gear and which is situated opposite the first gear; and
a control unit configured to detect any blockage in the inlet port according to data received from the sensor unit, to trigger the actuator when the blockage is detected in the inlet port and to allow air to enter into the engine by moving the rotary cylinder from the closed position to the open position.
