% Compute the rotation rate from the tip Mach number
It also computes the advance ratio. Either or both altitude and
velocity can be vectors. If they are both vectors they must be the
same length.
Type NFromMT for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[n,j] = NFromMT( mT, h, d, v )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
mT (1,1) Tip Mach number
d (1,1) Blade diameter (m)
h (1,:) Altitude (m)
v (1,:) Velocity (m/s)
-------
Outputs
-------
n (1,:) Rotation rate (rps)
j (1,:) Advance ratio
