Expand description

Preserved-drag fraction of the central-nozzle SRP configuration — the digitized Jarvinen–Adams curve C_A_F/C_A0 vs C_T at M∞ = 2.0 (JARVINEN_ADAMS_PRESERVED_DRAG_M2). The low-C_T structure is the report’s measured drag collapse: the fraction falls from 1.0 to 0.22 by C_T ≈ 0.46 and drops sharply across the jet-penetration → blunt-flow transition near C_T ≈ 1; slightly negative values past C_T ≈ 2 are the measured wake-type forebody force. Domain: C_T ∈ [0.0, 8.8]; inputs outside it are rejected, never extrapolated. Corroboration: the Korzun–Cruz–Braun survey’s “minimum value of approximately 10% of the no-jet value” brackets this curve’s 0.12 → 0.02 transition values.
