Sigh. Long story: plausible.org is a box in my closet. We lost power last night. It has a dumb (Asus P5A) ATX motherboard that doesn't know how to power on following a power loss (it comes up in soft-off mode instead). The file system had errors. I didn't have time to wait for the fsck this morning, so I went to work with it still down. I'll go home at lunch and get this fixed. My fianc�e is complaining that the wedding site is down too. :) > It appears that the thrust/altitude curve is a bit too steep.

I haven't examined the Jet stuff very closely. The way the code works is that it matches some performance curves I got out of McFarland for a 707 engine. The turbofans on the 747 actually won't be too terribly far off in their thrust performance, I'd think. (With a little scaling of the minor output numbers like N1 and TIT to ones appropriate for the engine.) Most likely, I've got an interpolation bug in there somewhere. I'll take a look.
