Use this skill when simulating quadrotor physical dynamics — mapping desired thrust/moments to individual motor RPMs via a propeller allocation matrix, applying first-order motor lag, and integrating the nonlinear equations of motion (translational and rotational) using RK45.

# Motor Model and Dynamics Simulation

## Overview

Two modules form the physics layer of the simulator:

1. **Motor model** — maps desired `[F, Mx, My, Mz]` → desired motor RPMs → applies first-order lag → returns actual thrust and moments
2. **Dynamics** — nonlinear equations of motion; given forces and moments, returns the 16-element state derivative for ODE integration

## Motor Model

### Propeller Allocation Matrix (X-frame quadrotor)

The 4×4 allocation matrix maps `[F, Mx, My, Mz]` to squared motor RPMs. For an X-frame with arm length `d`, thrust coefficient `cT`, and torque coefficient `cQ`:
