pub fn takes_cone_formula(shape: NoseShape) -> boolExpand description
Whether a nose or shoulder of shape takes any of Niskanen’s closed-form cone (eq. B.3–B.6,
times eq. B.8 for an ogive) in its transonic pressure drag (PressureDragCurve::new): a cone
and an ogive wholly; a power series of exponent above ¾ and a parabolic series of parameter
below ½ in part, as they blend toward the 3:1 cone. That closed form reads high against
measurement from Mach 0.8 (issue #67), so a
shape that takes it carries that issue’s warning.
