29 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Models the atmosphere. The equation used below was determined by a third order
32 curve fit using Excel. The data is from the ICAO atmosphere model.
35 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37 07/23/99 TP Added implementation of 1959 Standard Atmosphere
38 Moved calculation of Mach number to FGTranslation
