I am interested in learning more about the Aerospace Toolbox. I would like to know how to obtain the DATCOM files mentioned in the "Getting Started" page of the Aerospace Toolbox.

DATCOM files are user-supplied. An example is available at:
$MATLABROOT/toolbox/aero/astdemos/astdatcom.in
where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing
matlabroot
at the MATLAB Command Prompt.
To import the DATCOM file, please use the DATCOMIMPORT command.
For example, to import 'astdatcom.out':
aero = datcomimport('astdatcom.out')
