FuelFromRange:

Path: ACPro/ACPerformance

% Computes the fuel as a function of range.

   Type FuelFromRange for a demo using the Scimitar engine at Mach 5.
   Since version 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   mF = FuelFromRange( mD, lOverD, r, v, sFC )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   mD          (1,1)  Dry mass (kg)
   lOverD      (1,1)  Lift to drag ratio
   r           (1,:)  Range (km)
   v           (1,1)  Velocity (m/s)
   sFC         (1,1)  Specific Fuel Consumption (kg/N-s)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   range       (1,:)  Range (km)
