LiftCoeff:

Path: ACPro/ACProAerodynamics

% 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
