Greetings,
	Does any one worked out the rigid body equations (in 3D) in a notebook? I
have to "simulate" the dynamics of an helicopter at work and most people are
using other systems. I prefer to work with Mathematica for reasons
that should be obvious to people in this list! But it is not for my
colleagues at work.
	It will be an interesting challange to implement those equations in
Mathematica. At the end I will want to input some initial conditions (like
speed, trun speed,...) and get the dynamics (new speed, attitude,...).
	Good references will be appreciated also... !

Thanks,

Robert
