Default Jet turbine reliability

What range does JS predict when using these techniques?

I have seen various slightly different graphs from JS for ways of using their jet but consistently they predict the greatest theoretical range being from a full power climb at around 80 knots and then glide.

Next best is the economical cruise at about 75,000 rpm and around 75-80 knots - similar to the HpH scenario but JS haven't included the dolphining effect. All flight traces I have found of the JS1 jet being used for real life retrieves seem to show it being used for slow climb and cruise around 75 knots.
