Expand description

Angular momentum for a flip maneuver (kg·m²/s).

Given ship mass (kg), characteristic radius (m, distance from center of mass to thrust point), and flip angular rate (rad/s), returns the angular momentum about the rotation axis.

Approximates the ship as a cylinder: I ≈ 0.5 * m * r²
