% Aerodynamic model with sideforce from a rudder. Adds the ground effect and includes a quadratic term for the sideforce in the drag polar. Since version 4 (ACT). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [cD,cC,cL] = AeroCoefficientPointMass( aE, bE, h, d ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ aE (1,1) Angle of attack bE (1,1) Sideslip angle h (1,1) Altitude d (.)
