Pitch vs Time

Pitch vs Time

Once the trajectory has run, please go to the plotted results and look at Pitch vs time which is shown below.

We modified the control inputs so that all maneuvers were in the pitch plane corresponding with the Fin Control and Fin Definition tables. So, the first maneuver produces a positive lift on the forward canard which brings the total projectile to an angle of attack and then uncants allowing the projectile to return to a zero pitch. The next maneuver pitches the forward canard down which pitches the projectile at a negative pitch angle. This angle releases, the projectile returns to zero pitch and then goes into the final pitch up maneuver.
