Struct Weathercock 

pub struct Weathercock { /* private fields */ }

Second-order weathercock: the body axis relaxes toward the relative wind with natural frequency ωₙ² = q·A·Cnα·(CP−CG)/I and exponential damping 2ζωₙ. Positive static margin (CP aft of CG) is stable; negative margin diverges, as it should. The axis and rate are snapshot-able state, updated once per public step with an explicit first-order-in-dt scheme, so choose the public cadence well below the axis’s natural period.

Implementations

impl Weathercock

pub fn new( params: WeathercockParams, initial_axis: Vec3, atmosphere: Atmosphere, wind_mps: Vec3, ) -> Result<Self>

initial_axis is the pad orientation (normalized at construction). atmosphere and wind_mps should match the force model’s air.

pub fn axis(&self) -> Vec3

Current body axis (unit vector) — snapshot state for replay.

pub fn rate(&self) -> Vec3

Current angular-rate vector, perpendicular to the axis.

pub fn set_state(&mut self, axis: Vec3, rate: Vec3) -> Result<()>

Restore a previously snapshotted axis/rate pair.
