This tool converts Tait-Bryan Euler angles to a rotation matrix, and then rotates the airplane graphic accordingly. The Euler angles are implemented according to the following convention (see the main paper for a detailed explanation):
- Rotation order is yaw, pitch, roll, around the z, y and x axes respectively
- Intrinsic, active rotations
- Right-handed coordinate system with right-handed rotations
Gimbal lock occurs when the pitch angle is +90° or -90°. Under these conditions, the yaw and roll axis become aligned and have the same effect.
