Another way the graph is useful is to think of a 60-degree bank and the 2G load resulting as the maximum acceptable unless engaged in aerobatics (forget pitch angle for the moment and assume a constant altitude).
The simulation indicates that the maximum vertical loads of main gears are almost linearly dependent on the sinking speed, while the response of nose gear is very sensitive to the initial values of pitch angle and pitching inertia.

There are three critical factors: battery pack vertical displacement, battery pack pitch angle and battery pack roll angle, which are emulated by same coordinate of the time, it is shown as Figs.

However, instead of measuring the blade's pitch angle, the pilot references the engine's rpm to set propeller pitch.
9, the power of the wind turbine was 90kW, the azimuth angle was 182.1[degrees] and the pitch angle was -0.6[degrees].
Taken with a roll tilt angle of 0 degrees and roll pitch angle of 79.63 degrees, the final image was post-processed to highlight the crescent aspect of the moon.
