pub const TRANSONIC_NOSE_DRAG_MACH: f64 = 0.8;Expand description
Where the closed-form cone’s transonic pressure drag starts to read high: Mach 0.8 (issue #67: +87% at Mach 0.8 and +105% at 0.85 against Stoney’s measured 3:1 cone, NASA TR R-100; 2 to 9 times MIL-HDBK-762’s 3:1 tangent ogive from Mach 0.9 to 1.2; still +15% at Mach 1.5).
