When a beam of relativistic particles is injected into a non-relativistic thermal jet with density ρj, the beam front moves at a speed V smaller than the beam velocity vb. The author derives the asymptotic speed V as a function of vb and of the inertia parameter â = ρj/erγb, where er is the energy density of the relativistic particles in the beam frame. The result is applied to superluminal expansion detected in radio-quasars.
