headed for the big apple. won't check in for a few days.

thanks again!
It took me a long time before I could sort out what people were writing about,and it was hard to grasp the concept of laminar flow over a turbulent boundary layer.And it was only after reading Schlicting's book on boundary layer theory that I got a handle on separation.
The tangent angle hits 22-degrees at around 70% of the template aft-body,then maintains 22-degrees out to where you'd have to cut the body off,respecting the 10-degree SAE Departure angle of the diffuser.
Enjoy N.Y.C.!
