ZeroPayloadTime:

Path: StraightLine/ConstantThrust

% Compute minimum time to achieve a straight-line distance.
 Compute the minimum time corresponding to the requested distance,
 assuming zero payload, given the engine parameters. This is analytic.
 
 The built-in demo shows several values of uE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   tF = ZeroPayloadTime( d )      % struct input
   tF = ZeroPayloadTime( dF, uE, sigma, eta, f )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   d           (.)      Engine data struct

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   tF         (1,1)     Trip time (s)
