// Atmosphere model.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Copied from YASim Atmosphere.cxx, with m converted to ft, degK
// converted to degC, Pa converted to inHG, and kg/m^3 converted to
// slug/ft^3; they were then converted to deltas from the sea-level
// defaults (approx. 15degC, 29.92inHG, and 0.00237slugs/ft^3).
// Calculated based on the ISA standard day, as found at e.g.
// http://www.av8n.com/physics/altimetry.htm
// Original comment from YASim:
// Copied from McCormick, who got it from "The ARDC Model Atmosphere"
// Note that there's an error in the text in the first entry,
// McCormick lists 299.16/101325/1.22500, but those don't agree with
// R=287. I chose to correct the temperature to 288.20, since 79F is
// pretty hot for a "standard" atmosphere.
// Elevation (ft), temperature factor (degK), pressure factor (inHG)
// Each line of data has 3 elements:
// Elevation (ft),
// temperature factor (dimensionless ratio of absolute temp),
// pressure factor (dimensionless ratio)
