Loop a whole code to display each variation of a variable

2 views (last 30 days)
Greetings! I have been making this code for my matlab introduction class in which I want to obtain a different value of the variables "CL" and "CD". I made a while loop but I can't figure out why my code isn't "looping" and is just giving me the result for "CL" and "CD" with my first loop value (equal to 4, appears as "aoainitiald" on my code). Any help is much appreciated.

Since aoa is in radians, rather than incrementing it by 1 radian each time, perhaps you mean to increment it by pi/180 radians, which is equivalent to 1 degree, each time.
That is, change this:
aoa=aoa+1;
to:
aoa=aoa+pi/180;
and you will see results over multiple iterations.
