% Computes the ideal lift coefficient from 0 through supersonic.
The zero mach lift coefficient is
cL = cL0 + cLAlpha*alpha;
Also applies the Prandtl Glauert compressibility correction. Does not
account for stall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
cL = LiftCoeff( alpha, cLAlpha, cL0, m, delta )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
alpha (1,:) Angle of attack
cLAlpha (1,1) Coefficient dcL/dAlpha
cL0 (1,1) Lift at zero angle of attack
m (1,:) Mach number
delta (1,1) If entered use the transonic damping
-------
Outputs
-------
cL (1,:) Lift coefficient
