TurningRadius:

Path: ACPro/ACPerformance

% Compute turning radius and turning rate.

   These are a function of the lift/weight ratio and the velocity.

   Type TurningRadius for a demo.
   Since Version 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [r, omega] = TurningRadius( v, n )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   v               (1,n) Velocity (m/s)
   n               (1,m) Lift/Weight

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   r               (m,n) Radius (m)
   omega           (m,n) Angular rate (rad/s)
