AircraftPowerAndThrust:

Path: ACPro/ACDesign

% Computes aircraft power and thrust for a set of trajectory segments.
 The built-in demo is for a Boeing 737-800

   Inputs
   ------
   s   (1,:) Vector of trajectory segment data structures
             .phase       (1,:) Character array containing the name of
                                this segment
             .v           (1,1) Velocity of this segment. If v<3, assumes
                                v is the Mach number. (m/s or Mach) 
             .h           (1,1) Starting altitude of this segment (m)
             .rateOfClimb (1,1) Rate of climb of this segment (m/s)
             .range       (1,1) If rateOfClimb is zero, the range of this
                                segment (m). If rateOfClimb is not zero,
                                range is automatically computed.

   d 	(.)   Aircraft data structure, by default produced by Boeing737.m
             .mass    (1,1) Max takeoff mass (kg)
             .sFC     (1,1) Thrust-specific fuel consumption, kg/s*N
             .e       (1,1) Oswald efficiency
             .aR      (1,1) Aspect ratio
             .s       (1,1) Wing area (m^2)
             .cD0     (1,1) Zero-lift drag coefficient, clean
             .cLAlpha (1,1) Coefficient of lift over angle of attack
