LDDeltaWing:

Path: ACPro/ACProAerodynamics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Computes the lift and drag coefficients for a swept wing

   Type LDDeltaWing for a demo of the Space Shuttle wing.
   Since version 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [cD, cL, kI, y]  = LDDeltaWing( v, h, d )
