% Computes the fuel as a function of range.
Type FuelFromRange for a demo using the Scimitar engine at Mach 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
mF = FuelFromRange( mD, lOverD, r, v, sFC )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
mD (1,1) Dry mass (kg)
lOverD (1,1) Lift to drag ratio
r (1,:) Range (km)
v (1,1) Velocity (m/s)
sFC (1,1) Specific Fuel Consumption (kg/N-s)
-------
Outputs
-------
range (1,:) Range (km)
