JetEngineAnalysis:

Path: ACPro/ACEngine

% Jet engine analysis. You can vary up to two of the
   parameters in p. You can get demos by typing

   JetEngineAnalysis( 'Ramjet' ), etc.

   If you enter JetEngineAnalysis( 'Ramjet', 1 ) it will echo the d and
   p structures.

   Engine parameters are in d and given below. You only need to enter
   parameters that are relevant to your engine. For example, ramjets
   don't require fan and compressor parameters.

   Turbojets and turbofans may have afterburners.

   This function is used to design engines. Once you have a design
   (possibly from an external source) use JetEnginePerformance to 
   study it at different throttle settings.

   Supported engines are:

   'Ramjet'
   'Turbojet'
   'Dual Exhaust Turbofan',
   'Mixed Flow Turbofan'
   'Turboprop'
