Here is the same simulation as before, but throttling all the way to no thrust! In practice, this would mean the engine needs to be re-ignited which is a difficult and complicated process. However, in an ideal world we would get this curve! It highlight's the curvature of the angle vs time graph required in order to linearly throttle mass-flow rate. This means that when we throttle down small amounts, we can simplify the math to be a straight line!
