Case 13.2: Velocity change of a subsonic aircraft

Verifies	Multidimensional table look-up
Gravitation	J2
Geodesy	WGS-84 rotating
Atmosphere	US 1976 STD
Winds	still air
Vehicle	F-16 with simple auto-pilot
Notes	Initially straight & level. t=5s, decrease commanded 5 KEAS

For the manuevering examples, the BlockDiagram from case 11 is modified to replace the controller with the auto-pilot configuration and generate the appropriate command signals.
