概要	Quaternion attitude representation is a mathematical framework for describing three-dimensional rotations using four-dimensional vectors (quaternions). Superior to Euler angles due to the absence of singularities (gimbal lock), quaternions are the standard representation in modern attitude estimation, spacecraft control, and 3D computer graphics. Quaternion kinematics elegantly expresses how attitude evolves under angular velocity measurements from gyroscopes.	Theodorsen flutter analysis is a classical aeroelastic method for predicting the onset of flutter, a self-excited oscillation where aerodynamic forces interact with elastic structural motion to cause rapid growth of oscillations. Developed by Theodore Theodorsen in 1935, the method uses frequency-domain analysis with Theodorsen's function to compute aerodynamic forces on oscillating wings. Flutter speed prediction is essential for aircraft certification and structural design.
