ΔC_Nα / [1 − (D_B/D)²], per degree on the cylinder’s area, at WP_PARAMETERS: RD-TM-68-5 Fig. 5, the supersonic side of the faired curve, read by tracing it on a 300-dpi scan to about ±0.0003 per degree (±0.02 per radian). At 0 (Mach 1) the curve peaks near −0.055, past the axis’s last tick; from there to about 1.2 it follows model No. 1’s points, the report’s lowest supersonic runs. Their Mach numbers are not read off here: the report gives model No. 1 as Mach 0.8 to 4.5, 0.8 to 1.5 of it in the AEDC tunnel (p. 1).
