that as long as the projectiles yaw angle is below 5.73°, the slow arm will damp to zero
(recall that the yaw angle is equal to sin(δ)); above this angle, it will grow without bound.
Although this angle is fairly large for a projectile, there have been instances documented
where a slowly launched missile was stable when red from one side of a fast warship,
