% Lift and drag for the drag polar.
The standard atmosphere fields must have the same dimension as Mach.
Type SimpleLiftAndDrag for a demo at constant altitude.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
d = SimpleLiftAndDrag( 'a' );
[lift, drag] = SimpleLiftAndDrag( m, d )
