Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Lateral acceleration for descent under parachute (in the function u_dot_parachute) depends on the air trapped beneath a parachute to determine the mass to divide drag force by. This added mass value depends on the radius R which is hard coded to 1.5
This causes issues with drift distance for smaller rockets and drogue parachutes leading to much higher drift distances than expected
Describe the solution you'd like
Either remove the hard coded value or determine radius based on a hard coded value for the coefficient of drag for a parachute, which is a much more reasonable thing to be hard coded.
