% 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)
