LiftAndDragSeaLevelToOrbit:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Two dimensional lift and drag.
   Includes both hypersonic and low speed models.
   The models are analytical
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [f, lift, drag] = LiftAndDragSeaLevelToOrbit( x, d )
