% Optimal angle of attack for hypersonic flow. Includes pressure effects, skin friction and parasitic drag. The default Standard Atmosphere is at 1000 m. Type CDCLHypersonic for a demo. One demo shows the variation of cD and cL with respect to Mach. The other shows the variation with respect to angle of attack. This function includes the pressure correction with Mach for cP. It also includes skin friction and parasitic drag. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: alpha = OptimalAngleOfAttackHypersonic( m, p, l, cParasitic ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ m (1,:) Freestream Mach number p (.)
