% Compute the radius and length of transition.
The aircraft must reach the flight path angle at the screen height.
hSc, n and gamma may be vectors but they must be the same length or
of length 1.
Type TakeoffTransition for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[s, v, r] = TakeoffTransition( hSc, n, gamma )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
hSc (1,:) Screen height (m)
n (1,:) Lift/weight
gamma (1,:) Flight path angle (rad)
-------
Outputs
-------
s (1,:) Length of transition (m)
v (1,:) Velocity (m/s)
r (1,:) Turning radius (m)
