??? in an assignment a(i) = berrorfuselage attitudehelicopternewton raphsonrotorcraftsea kingtrim angleswestland

I am writing a code to calculate the required trim angles for a sea king helicopter at velocities 0-70 m/s in steps of 5m/s. Data has been provided for me including an initial guess for fuselage attitude (theta).
I have completed my code and I am attempting to debug it. The first problem I'm having is getting the fuselage attitude angle iteration to run the entire way through. The code runs to line 61 suggesting that the code is working as it should, however it isn't as in line 43 (x1=theta_i(r);) a 15×1 column vector is produced when in fact x1 should be a single value assigned from the theta_i vector and correspond to the appropriate velocity that the iteration is being run for. Line 61 where the code fails should then store the final iterated value into the vector initialized before the loop, line 38 (theta=zeros(size(V)); %Empty Fuselage Attitude Matrix).
Any help to solving why x1 is not a single value would be great as this should solve the problem…
Thanks, the code is below.
