Yes, typo.  Sorry.

Remind me again which one of these is the "real" engine data, and what
the source is?  The only line on this graph that has the dropoff seems
to be the polynomial you posted.  The others (including the linear
one) all have better agreement, qualitatively.  We can play with other
forms too, like c((x+1)^e - 1) (for some e < 1, and with a c that makes the
slope through the origin ~ 1).
