Expand description

Where a forward-swept fin’s warning starts: Mach 1 (ADR-188). Its measured error is a normal-force slope that rises by up to 7.7% past linear theory’s start, Mach 1.2 (hpr_aero::fins::SUPERSONIC_START_MACH), peaking up to 0.37 past it (issue #64); the warning starts at the lowest supersonic Mach number, below that rise. The transonic join into linear theory starts at Mach 0.8 (hpr_aero::fins::TRANSONIC_START_MACH); below Mach 1 the error isn’t measured.
