RateOfClimb:

Path: ACPro/ACPerformance

% Computes the rate of climb and acceleration.
   Since version 3 (ACT).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [rateOfClimb, accel] = RateOfClimb( d, velocity, altitude )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   d              (1,1)  See "ConcordeProperties.m"
   velocity       (1,:)  Velocity
   altitude       (1,:)  Altitude (m)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   rateOfClimb    (1,:)  Range (m/s)
   accel          (1,:)  Acceleration (m/s^2)
