AngleOfAttackMaxLD:

Path: ACPro/ACPerformance

% Angle of attack for maximum L/D.
   This assumes

   cD = cD0 + k*cL^2
   cL = cLA*alpha

   Since version 4 (ACT).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [alpha, lD] = AngleOfAttackMaxLD( cD0, k, cLA )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   cD0         (1,1) Zero angle of attack drag
   k           (1,1) Induced drag coefficient
   cLA         (1,1) Lift curve slope

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   alpha       (1,1) Angle of attack (rad)
   lD          (1,1) Maximum lift over drag
