)
This computes the 1/3 octave band sound pressure level and the overall sound pressure level from the clean wing,
for a wing with area S (sq.ft) and span b (ft).  ND is a constant set to 0 for clean wings and set to 1 for propeller
airplanes, jet transports with numerous large trailing edge flap tracks, flaps extended, or slats extended. ISHORZ must be set to 1.
This function can be used for the horizontal tail by inserting the appropriate tail area and span. For a vertical tail, its appropriate
area and height are used and ISHORZ must be set to 0.
