CLAlpha:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
Computes the lift curve slope for an airfoil.
cL = cLAlpha*alpha with alpha in radians.
Type CLAlpha for a demo with a NACA 0012 airfoil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
cLAlpha = CLAlpha( airfoil, rE )
