In gyroscopic effect of a quadcopter, why does precession cause torque, not vice versa?
I don't know if the header corresponds to my actual quest but i will explain.
In quadcopter dynamic equations of Newton-Euler formation that I have encountered in all academic publications, torque ...

Windspeed and Aeroplanes
Say we had an airplane cruising at velocity $V$ and the airplane was going from point $A$ to $B$. If the wind was also blowing in the same direction from $A$ to $B$, at a velocity $U$, could we say ...

How to sensor Jerk=$d^3{\bf r}/dt^3$, or higher derivatives (4th, 5th, 6th order) when applied in the equation of motion of a ballistic missile?
Given a 6th order differential equation of motion as usually used in ballastic missile dynamic models. What kind of sensors are usually used to measure Jerk, (or higher order derivatives in kinematics)...

Why does an airliner burn more fuel at lower altitudes?
At lower altitude an aeroplane usually has more lift. However an aeroplane flying at low altitudes (with gear/flaps up) at low velocity burns the same amount of fuel it would flying much faster at a ...

Given a radius and velocity calculate position of an aircraft banking to make a turn in three dimensional space
Suppose an aircraft is moving at a certain fixed altitude above the ground. It follows a path defined by latitude and longitude. Now if we want to define the position of an aircraft at any point in ...
