% Computes takeoff velocity. Type TakeoffVelocity for a demo. Since version 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: vLO = TakeoffVelocity( m, cLMax, s, f, rho ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ m (1,1) Mass (kg) cLMax (1,1) Maximum Lift coefficient s (1,1) Reference area (m^2) f (1,1) Factor of safety on stall velocity rho (1,1) Atmospheric density (kg/m^3) ------- Outputs ------- vLO (1,:) Liftoff velocity (m/s) See also: StallVelocity -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Anderson, J. D., "Introduction to Flight 3rd Edition,", McGraw-Hill 1989, pp 318-324. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
