% Compute propeller power.
This is the minimum power to drive a propeller. This is based on
actuator disk theory.
Type PowerPropeller for a demo.

Form:
power = PowerPropeller( u0, d, thrust, rho )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
u0 (1,:) Velocity (m/s)
d (1,1) Propeller diameter (m)
thrust (1,:) Thrust (N)
rho (1,:) Density (kg/m^3)
-------
Outputs
-------
thrust (1,:) Power (W)
