% Ramjet model including aerodynamic losses. The default fuel is H2.
Computes the thrust and exhaust velocity including aerodynamic losses.
Inputs u and h must have the same lengths. This function calls the standard
atmosphere model. If no inputs are given and just one output it will return
the default data structure.
Type Ramjet for a demo. The demo varies the altitude from 10 to 40 km
and the Mach number from 1.5 to 7.
