Expand description

The top of the buildup’s range, which it doesn’t reach: Mach 5, where the hypersonic region begins (Niskanen 2009 Table 3.1, p. 19), as for the normal force. Niskanen expects the simulation “to be reasonably accurate to at least Mach 1.5” (p. 94); how far it holds against measurements is in docs/physics/aero.md.
