AirshipGeometry:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compute the main geometric properties of an airship hull.
Assume a double-ellipsoid configuration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[S, V, a1, a2, b] = AirshipGeometry( L, D, ratio )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
L (1) Length of hull [m]
D (1) Diameter of hull [m]
ratio (1) Ratio of rear to front ellipsoid length
-------
Outputs
-------
S (1) Surface aera [m^2]
V (1) Volume [m^3]
a1 (1) Semi-major axis of front ellipsoid [m]
a2 (1) Semi-major axis of rear ellipsoid [m]
b (1) Semi-minor axis of each ellipsoid [m]
