ThrustTurbofan:

Path: AC/ACEngine

% Compute turbofan thrust as a function of static thrust and velocity.
 
   f = f0*(1 - k1*v + k2*v^2)

   Type ThrustTurbofan for a demo of the Rolls-Royce RB211.

   Any units for static thrust can be used.

   Form:
   f = ThrustTurbofan( f0, k1, k2, v )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   f0              (1,1) Static thrust
   k1              (1,1) Coefficient (s/m)
   k2              (1,1) Coefficient (s/m)^2
   v               (1,:) Velocity (m/s)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   f               (1,:) Thrust (same units as f0)
