pub fn wp_slope(
mach: f64,
fore_radius_m: f64,
aft_radius_m: f64,
length_m: f64,
) -> Result<f64, AeroError>Expand description
A conical boattail’s normal-force slope increment at α → 0, per radian on the area
π fore_radius_m², at Mach mach (at least 1): negative, from Fig. 5’s correlation
(WP_SLOPE_PER_DEG).
§Errors
AeroError::Domain for a Mach number below 1 or not finite, a length that isn’t finite and
positive, an aft radius that isn’t below the fore radius (not a boattail) or is negative, or
dimensions whose ratios overflow.
