DragPolar:

Path: ACPro/ACProAerodynamics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Computes the drag polar, cD = cD0 + k*cL^2

   This is the simplest realistic drag model for an aircraft.
   Since version 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   cD = DragPolar( cD0, cL, kI )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------ 
   cD0             (1,:)  Zero lift drag coefficient
   cL              (1,:)  Lift coefficient
   kI              (1,:)  Induced drag coefficient

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   cD              (1,:)  Drag coefficient
