Detailed Description

Shared inputs for the flight tests: the shipped 6.5 kN vehicle and its thrust curve.

The curve is the one the config header states for the flat dome-regulated burn through the
time-varying solver: thrust 6500.0 -> 6601.9 N and mdot 2.7976 -> 2.8550 kg/s, linear over
3.8978 s, split at the delivered O/F 1.5013. Using the header numbers keeps these tests off the
engine solver, which is not what they check.

roomy_tanks()

flight_cases.roomy_tanks	(		cfg,

		float	fill = 0.8 )

Tanks sized so the curve's own propellant fills them to `fill`: no cap can bite.
