Rao nozzle with area ratio < 3.678 #2

Closed dug20 closed 3 years ago

An error is raised when you try to do this, as the data is not available.

I've realised that once you get to area ratios that small, the nozzle looks quite a lot like a cone.

As an easy fix, I might just get it to return a 15 degree cone nozzle if try to make a Rao bell nozzle outside the ranges of available data (along with printing a warning that it is doing this).

Temporarily fixed by forcing the code to make a 15 degree cone nozzle.
