TakeoffTransition:

Path: ACPro/ACPerformance

% Compute the radius and length of transition.
   The aircraft must reach the flight path angle at the screen height.
   hSc, n and gamma may be vectors but they must be the same length or
   of length 1.

   Type TakeoffTransition for a demo.
   Since version 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [s, v, r] = TakeoffTransition( hSc, n, gamma )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   hSc             (1,:) Screen height (m)
   n               (1,:) Lift/weight
   gamma           (1,:) Flight path angle (rad)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   s               (1,:) Length of transition (m)
   v               (1,:) Velocity (m/s)
   r               (1,:) Turning radius (m)
