Simulate Single Rail Button Flight Phase

Open giovaniceotto opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

The current Flight simulation does not take into account the fact the for a very short amount of time, a high powered rocket is guided through the launch rail with a single rail button, after the first has already cleared the rail. Under this condition, the rocket displays a planar motion, with 3 degrees of freedom.

This should be implemented as a new flight phase due to its importance to dynamic stability when the rocket is clearing the rail.
