🐤 Flappy Flight Physics Lab: Jump Apex, Flap Rate and Reaction-Lag Gap Limits

A flap-and-fall bird as a ballistics experiment: apex height v^2/2g, the climb rate at a given flap frequency, integrator error at 60 Hz, and how command latency changes the narrowest pipe gap an autopilot can pass.

A flap-and-fall bird treated as a ballistics experiment: apex height v^2/2g, climb rate at a given flap frequency, Euler versus RK4 integration at 60 Hz, and how command latency changes the narrowest pipe gap that a naive or a predictive autopilot can pass.
