% Compute wind vector from angle of attack and sideslip. This is the velocity vector. When alpha is zero the velocity vector is along +x. When it is 90 it is along +z. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: u = UFromAlphaBeta( alpha, beta ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ alpha (1,:) Angle of attack (rad) beta (1,:) Sideslip angle (rad) ------- Outputs ------- u (3,:) Body vector -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: MAE142_Lecture13.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------
