Ha ha! Or maybe not. We (the US) built an early cruise missile you may be
familiar with; it was called "Snark."
We now build much better cruise missiles, though not metrically. I'm guessing
they have an engine-off L/D of around 10...as in 'somewhat less than' a 2-33.
Hence the engine assist, I guess.
